Where to Get a Car Remote Key Duplicated?
1 Answers
Car remote keys can be duplicated at 4S dealerships or at specialized key duplication shops. The process involves copying the chip inside the key, as this chip is essential for remote locking and unlocking functions. The chip in the remote key also controls engine startup—even for vehicles requiring a twist-key ignition, the chip is necessary. Without the chip, the mechanical key alone cannot start the engine. Remote keys contain batteries, typically lasting 2 to 3 years. When the battery runs out, it needs replacement. To conserve battery life, avoid using the remote from long distances, as this increases power consumption.
