Replacement Keys
If you have lost your primary Citroen car key and are in search of an alternative, it's best to go to an auto locksmith that you trust. It will save you both time and money. You'll need to take your car to the dealership, and present your identification documents in order to get a replacement key. The key will be delivered between two and five business days. You will need to return to the dealer to have your replacement Citroen keys programmed. This can be a long and expensive process.
Citroen provides a variety of key types, depending on the model and year of your vehicle. The Key Lab come with keys that unlock the doors remotely, whereas others require that you insert it into the ignition to start the car. The majority of these keys come with a transponder chip that is used to connect with your car. The embedded chip inside the key needs to be programmed for your particular car.
A technician on the move will come to you to resynchronize your key to your vehicle. They'll have the diagnostic equipment required to do the job and will not charge more than dealers would.
Transponder Chips
Transponder chips inside your keys are designed to prevent your vehicle from being hot-wired. This is a popular method employed by thieves to steal vehicles. If you own a transponder key that has a chip inside, it will turn off the immobilizer of your car if the wrong key is used to start it. This technology is extremely efficient in preventing theft of cars.
The transponder chips that are in your citroen keys could become out of sync with your vehicle at times and it's essential to keep them safe. A mobile locksmith can reprogram a key in the event of theft or loss by using the equipment they have in their van. This will cost you far less than the dealership would charge for new keys.
If you enjoy surfing, fishing, boating or kayaking, having an ignition key that has transponder chips can make your life much easier. Instead of worrying about taking a key made of steel with you in case you need to lock your car when you're away, this type key is water-resistant and can be left in your surfboard, fishing pole or kayak.
Keys lost or stolen
Make sure you keep a spare key safe to avoid losing them. If you're susceptible to forgetting where you put something away, consider putting the spare key somewhere that's easy to remember (like your keychain). If you have trouble keeping the track of things like this, consider purchasing the keyring in a bright pattern or color so that it's easy to find.
Citroen vans and cars prior to 1997 didn't use transponders, so making an spare is done at the website. From 1998, all vehicles will have transponders which must be programmed into the chassis. This requires specialized equipment.
If your Citroen keys for your van or car were stolen or lost, you'll need to go to the dealer with your V5 and ID to request replacement keys. They can take up five days to arrive and need to be programmed into your vehicle before they are able to be used. We can program and cut keys for replacement in a fraction of the time required at the dealership, and at an affordable price.
We can also reprogram Citroen remote controls (fobs) that are out of sync with the vehicle. This isn't something that can be accomplished by your local mechanic or garage, but our mobile technicians have the necessary equipment in their vans that allow them to do this fast and efficiently.
