Key Replacement
If you have lost your primary Citroen car key and are in search of replacement, it's best to go to an auto locksmith that you trust. It will save you both money and time. You'll need to take your vehicle to the dealership and present your identification documents in order to get a replacement key. It can take between two and five days for the key to be delivered. Once it arrives you'll need to come back in to have the replacement Citroen key programmed into your vehicle. This could be very costly and time consuming.
Citroen offers a variety of keys, based on the year and model of your vehicle. Certain models come with the key fob to unlock the door from some distance, while other require you to insert it into the ignition to start the engine. The majority of keys have transponder chips that are used to connect with your car. The embedded chip inside the key has to be programmed to work with your specific car.
A mobile technician will travel to you and resynchronize your keys to your vehicle. They will have all the diagnostic equipment required to complete the task and won't cost the same amount that an auto dealer would.
Transponder Chips
A transponder chip in your key is designed to block the hot-wiring of your car. This is a technique commonly used by thieves to steal vehicles. If you have a transponder key the chip inside will turn off the immobilizer of your vehicle if an incorrect key is used to start it. This technology is extremely effective in preventing auto theft.
