clarity.
Answers depend on the exact vehicle, so we'll confirm compatibility before booking.
Is remote programming the same as immobiliser programming?+
No. Remote locking and engine-start authorisation can be separate functions and may require different procedures.
Can you fix a key that has stopped working?+
Potentially, depending on whether the problem is the key, battery, electronics or vehicle. A diagnosis is needed before a repair can be confirmed.
Do you work with BMW keys?+
We can discuss selected BMW key and immobiliser enquiries. Support is assessed by chassis, year and security system rather than assuming every model is covered.
