Where to Get a Car Remote Key Duplicated?
1 Answers
Car remote keys can be duplicated at 4S dealerships or specialized key duplication shops. Duplicating a remote key essentially means replicating the chip inside the key. This chip is crucial for remote locking/unlocking functions and also controls the engine. Even for vehicles without push-button start (requiring traditional key turning), the chip inside the remote key remains essential. Without this chip, the key would only function as a mechanical key, rendering the engine inoperable. Remote key casings are not waterproof, so avoid exposing them to water during daily use to prevent chip damage. All remote keys contain batteries, which typically last 2-3 years before requiring replacement.
