What to Do If You Lose Your Car Remote
1 Answers
There are several methods to deal with a lost car remote, which include: 1. Use the spare key. 2. Visit a 4S shop or an auto parts market to have a new key made. When going to get a key made, be sure to bring your driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, and even the motor vehicle registration certificate. Additional Information: If the vehicle is far from the spare key or the spare key is also lost, you will need to call a professional locksmith to unlock the car. Usually, you will need to prove that you are the owner of the vehicle, such as with your ID card or vehicle registration certificate. Every car comes with a pre-configured anti-theft code. As long as the owner provides the 4S shop with the vehicle registration certificate and personal identification, the 4S shop can retrieve the vehicle's anti-theft code based on the provided information and then configure a new key. At the same time, they can also erase the data of the lost key, meaning the lost key will become invalid and unable to start the vehicle, though it may still open the doors. Therefore, the 4S shop may recommend replacing all the locks in the vehicle to ensure security.
