Why can't the car key unlock or turn?

[ParkerDella]

There are several reasons that may cause the issue: The vehicle's steering wheel is in a locked state. The anti-theft chip in the car's remote key has malfunctioned. The vehicle's ignition switch has failed. In such cases, avoid forcing the key to turn, as it may lead to key breakage. Vehicle ignition methods: The first ignition method involves using a traditional mechanical key to start the vehicle via the ignition switch. The second method utilizes a smart key with a push-button start system to activate the vehicle. The third method employs the vehicle's remote control for remote starting. The fourth method allows starting the vehicle through a mobile app. Push-button start: Push-button start can be retrofitted. Some vehicle models support non-destructive installation, while others require modifications to the ignition switch wiring during retrofitting. When installing a push-button start system, it's advisable to simultaneously upgrade to a keyless entry system for enhanced convenience during use.
