Excellent review. Exactly what I was looking for.

Hello, nice video, I am a locksmith and I would say that german cars can be done by using some third-party tools, you don't have to go to a dealer to make such a key.
Thanks for sharing!
Great video, shout out from Brazil, i've been a locksmith here for 12 years.
Thanks for watching!
you manage to stay alive that long in Brazil?
amazing 🤣🤣🤣
Thank You Sir For The Wisdom ‼

What popular domestic and Japanese car keys, as a starter kit, do you recommend to stock for a small locksmith?
That would just depend on what's popular in your area. Find out what the most popular cars are for your city. We stock almost every key blank but only the most common remotes/fobs for our area.
Thanks for the great video and very informative. could you do a video for Opel Astra K key programming

Great sir
Whats the good machine to program American,Asian cars keys fob ?
Could you tell me the name of the equipment you would need to do German built car keys?
Can you guys do red truck? I hear that's a tough one.
@ACME Locksmith, can you explain the difference between key coding & key programming, as this is listed on diagnostic machines.
When I use the term "Key coding" I'm normally referring to getting the cuts for a key by using a code.

Programming is adding the key/fob to the car.

can you program a ford oem remote keyless for a ford police interceptor 2016?
Hi. Could I cut one or two backup keyless entry (key) from you and have them programmed by myself or by a locksmith near me? How much would you charge, and could guide me in programming the keys, please?
If you have an existing key, it will always cost less to get it duplicated locally than have us originate (cut a key by code). You can certainly order the keys through our website. Just take to a local locksmith for duplication and programming.

The car key programming won't work for the OPEN DOOR button on the key. The CLOSE DOOR button does program. What can be done about this?
Hmmm. May be a faulty remote. www.acmelocksmith.com/replacement-car-key-and-remotes/
@ACME locksmith, recently my immobilizer chip for my honda died, I had a locksmith cut me a new key, but they took it upon themselves to make a new key that does not include a remote for door locks/unlocks. They programmed the new key so that the car will start with it which is what I wanted however now i cant remotely unlock my car. Is there a way for me to purchase a separate remote and program it without undoing the immobilizer? I.e have the new key they made and a separate remote for locking/unlocking?
Most emergency services do that to get you on your way. It's impossible to stock the thousands of different remote key combos.
Best thing to do is head into a locksmith shop. They'll be able to order you the remote/key, k copy it and add it to your vehicle for a lot less than it cost to get that original key made.
Thank you for this great video. I learned a lot on how car keys works these days.
Glad to help
Okay so I have a big question so if I get a 2020 Mustang GT or if I get a 2015 GT 220 21 I don't want to have the keyless entry so would I be able to get a regular key for that?
No. Those are push-to-start cars.
how can i get the "lock/unlock" door signal/code for my key
my key is like the one at " 1:59 "
i want to add the door signal codes in an app
so i can lock/unlock with my iphone
& keep the key in the car
no worries about it being stolen .. its a cheap test car with gps tracker xD...
My situation. I have a transponder key. But I’ve lost the master one to my car. I have a spare but it only unlocks the car doors. Am I able to make a copy that will start it? Thanks in advance
James Mello A good/reputable locksmith that works on car keys can make you a key. They will need your car, so will have to tow it or pay for mobile locksmith service.
Would I be able to program a new key for a 2009 Toyota Sienna? The key has a chip. A locksmith told me that only a dealer or locksmith can do it. He said that it would require special tools because of the chip. You have several keys listed for this vehicle. How would I know which one to choose? Thank you.
If you have master key with black rubber head you can program additional key yourself. Check on TH-cam how.
I’m that small subset that does German. And he’s right. It’s expensive.
Hello. One of my car keys stoped working. Months ago happened again but after a couple of weeks start working again. Do you know how can I re-program the key ? I 've watched videos showing multiple ways to do it using the car and the handle lock or the remote at the same time when you turn the key to unlock, but I don't want to try something if I am not sure about it. My car is a hyundai i30 2008 1.4 petrol. Can you please help? Thanks
According to my data the Elantra (the US version) must be programmed by a locksmith/dealer. Your local locksmith will know.
I have an ET-4 Electric car/mobility scooter from China. It has straight outer edges with the slot in the middle containing the "key" part , both the same . I lost one, Is it possible to have another made?
If my key runs on a certain frequency can any key with the same frequency be programed to my car? My car(first gen smart car) was Built-in France by Renault I believe , and the key I want to use is a Renault key for a Renault car they're both on 433 MHz
It's the chip in the key that's important. To be safe, buy one that says it supports your car.
For the transponder key, what is this method that you can program the key fob without a computer ?
Some cars are "on-board" compatible and can be programmed by you. Go to our website:
www.acmelocksmith.com/buy-car-keys-car-remotes-online/
look up your car and select the key or remote. If it can be programmed by you, you will see the instructions for how to program that key/remote under a tab called "Programming Instructions"
Do I have to make a copy of the key before programming the remote?
Depends on vehicle. In many cases a key is required.
Was listening but yeah what about safes are fobs used on cart deposit safes and small safes
Good man with some good knowledge offering great service, appreciated! Shame you can't help me with my Peugeot ..
Thanks!
I'm an automotive locksmith. I make keys for almost any vehicle including European and Exotic cars.
How do I program just the key to the car ? On a 2000 nissian pathfinder
Not a fob
Just the key
@@RoadieSurvival 2000 Nissan Pathfinder - Nice! This would be an unorthodox job using a retro programmer called the T-300. I'm sure there's other methods to pull this off but this is mines assuming no keys is present. If a key is present then duplicating of the transponder is highly recommend to save on labor and time. Use the 10 pin connector cable for the NATS 2 system and not OBD16. Make sure you use the "Nissan" adapter in between the cable and the unit itself for success.
Lost my spare key fob for my Genesis 2015... where do I take here in SoCal if I buy it from you?
Best bet would be to contact a local locksmith. Some won't program unless you buy the key from them, so since you're out of state it might be better just to go that route. Thanks for thinking of us though!
How is it possible to program the key when you don't have the original key ? or we do have to send you the old key? i NEED ONE FOR PEUGEOT 207 THANK YOU
Locksmith or dealer will need to originate a key and program it for you. You'll need to call a local locksmith to see if they can do a Peugeot. We can't.
sure locksmiths can do german car keys as well. autel 508, 608 with chip reader & ofcourse unfortunately you have to subscribe to manufacturer programming real ease data which some are cheaper than others depends if its just for one time one vehicle or yearly, depends on how much you do sometime is not worth it. it is doable just many locksmiths don’t want to get involved which connecting their tool to on line manufacturer servers it takes time lots of patience cuz t sucks doing it so most of the time it doesn’t make financial sense
How did you open this key
Hi you are amazing in explaining..Am in Africa Kenya,I started a locksmith work shop a year ago and want to advance into key programming. how much does a key programming machine kit costs
They vary. I don't know what you would use over there.
where in Kenya? I grew up in Kisumu... Jambo Bwana. Now live in Seattle. Hear hoping to see if I can program a new key to my Titan. I know how to sync the fob.
I have a working key fob and a key with just a chip in it that works Can a new key fob be programed from an original fob and a (transponder key
Some cars are on board programmable. Some need software to connect to the computer.
Check out our website, search for your vehicle, and select the fob you have. If it is something you can program yourself you will see a tab with programming instructions. If there is no tab, somebody needs to connect to the car's computer.

HI5, namaste! good video buddy!
hello...for beginners, what do tough recommend if I'm not trying to spend a ton of money on a key programmer.
There are a number of them available. They are limited in what they can do. Older, more common cars. The CK100 is probably one of the better ones. You can get it on eBay for around $150. ebay.us/8oxpvc . Just be sure to understand what it can and cannot do for you.
Why can't I enter the programming mode on my CWTWBU729 2011 Nissan Versa is it because I have to use the new key instead of my original key?
Don't know. You can confirm the programming instructions by going to our website, searching then selecting your remote/key. If it's on board programable (meaning you can program it), you'll see a programming instructions tab. Some of the newer models are not. www.acmelocksmith.com/buy-car-keys-car-remotes-online/
How vehicle manufactures screw over the public, one key at a time.
If purchasers really "own" the vehicle, then they should not have to pay a third party or purchase an expensive machine to just duplicate a key.
BTW....great explanation of key technology.
???
Wtf. You loose anything you have to pay for it. That's life freaky 😁
What if I lost my only key fob and I’m locked out? Can I still do this somehow?
A locksmith will most likely be able to originate a key for the vehicle without any problems (other than what I mentioned in the video) but you're not going to be able to do it yourself.
I have a old car with mechanical key, can I replace it with a remote keys?
Highly unlikely. You usually need to replace remotes / keys with the remotes / keys the car came with originally.
From where to buy those transponder keys, if i want to start a buisiness?
You'd have to find a distributor.
how come no key fob comes up when i search for hyundai ioniq 2018, only the blade?
I'm sorry Clayton. Sometimes we can't get them.

How do I get a key programmed for my old 2000 Buick? No FOB, just the key. I have aleady purchased the blank and have the resistor number.
Your local locksmith should be able to do it.
You don't get your key programmed to your car if it's a VATs key. If you already know your existing key's resister value, I think if's from 1 through 15 or so, you just buy the right key blank with that resister value. Then get that key duplicated from the original key that's working. If you don't have a working key then you will have to get the ignition cylinder pulled then cut that VATs key off of the key code stamped on that cylinder then install everything back assuming that you know the resister value your car requires. If you don't know the resister value then it's a different process. Either the locksmith use the VATs decoder and you pay him for his service or you can buy all 15 or so key blanks with different resister value and cut the metal part all same so all the keys turn the ignition then it's guaranteed that one of the 15 keys will work because it has to be one of those 15 VATs resister value. www.google.com/search?q=gm+vats+key+chart&sxsrf=ALeKk03VG0ATwlmXKh0s2CvRYe6QtYBoGw:1618551711816&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=WqnoprD2kQ6S9M%252C7XVG2HpIErDCVM%252C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kQHcdIadIQF7Cm8I43BtydecTn6qA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwip99T-hoLwAhVBvJ4KHYz2B0MQ9QF6BAgPEAE&biw=1920&bih=947#imgrc=WqnoprD2kQ6S9M It shows the resister values of the VATs keys. What I did when I couldn't afford to buy the VATs decoder was that I bought a variable resister potentiometer for 10 bucks or so and connected in line with the orange wires that is ran from the ignition to the car. I dialed it until I see the resister value falling into each value on the multimeter then turned the key without the VATs pallet. If it doesn't start then turn the dial to the next value and turn the ignition. There is a 4 or 10 minutes shutdown time between each attempt so it could take up to a couple of hours. Eventually the car will start. It's basically what the VATS decoder does but costs $300. It's your choice now at that point. You can leave that potentiometer there and use a regular key without the pallet or you buy the key blank with that resister value and make a copy of it then remove the potentiometer. ***It happened to me when I was making a key for a lady that when I removed the potentiometer while the car was running I was able to turn off and start the car without the VATs key, basically I disabled the VATS system sort of. Accidental discovery and not sure you can repeat that process. I forgot whether I connected the orange wire back or not but you can try without connecting it back and connected back. It's my two cents. Sorry it's two months late but I just found you comment.
I need a replacement remote key for my Toyota corolla verso 2004/2005 model. Thanks
No problem. You will need a locksmith to program the key to your car though. The remote you can program yourself so long as you have a working key. www.acmelocksmith.com/buy-car-keys-car-remotes-online/

sorry for the Long story lol
Yours is a proximity key/fob. Her's is not, so her car is not setup to support the feature you are looking for.

I need to program a new key to my car. It’s a 2000 model. I don’t need a fob, just the key..,it has the chip in it. How do you re program just the chip in the actual “key” like the first one you showed in this video. I bought a key from your site the basic chipped key one for $35
How do I program it,,,
Look up your year make and model on our website. Once you select the key if you see a tab labeled programming, you can program that key yourself. If you do not see that tab, a local locksmith needs to program and add that key.
Can this type key work On a pt cruiser
Which type? Some PT Cruisers are just good old keys. Some are transponders that need programming and some have remote key heads, that also need programming.

Hi sir is it possible to duplicate a key with thé châssis number in your company?
If it's not a transponder key and you can provide proof of ownership, we can certainly do that for many vehicles. But if it's transponder key it won't matter because you need to have that key programmed to the car in order for the car to run.
What do you mean by transpondeur key?
Because i have a Toyota rav4 that i needed a key cus my own are lost
I contact a friend and told me that it's possible to do it with a chassis number
@@boubamouhamed7798 It is possible to cut a key from the VIN number. However when you put that key into the car and turn the ignition the car will not start. A transponder key has a chip in the keyhead and that chip needs to be programmed to the car in order for the car to run. That requires a locksmith on site.

I've replaced the Lithium battery in my key fob but my car still won't open without me using my key ??
Could be shot. A locksmith shop should be able to test the remote to see if it is transmitting a signal.
My Nissan had the same issue. The remote stopped working after a battery change. I had to use on board programming on my car to reprogram the key remote to my car.
Very interesting but not very helpful. If I understand you correctly, you can provide me with a key, but not one that will lock or unlock the car remotely. To do this, another locksmith will need to program such a key to my car. This means that I would be better off taking my car to such a locksmith in the first place.
In some cases, totally true.
Hello Robert I own a 2005 Chrysler Crossfire made by Mercedes . I cannot find anyone to make me a usable key. I had 2 keys and I dropped one key fob on the road on a dark night and it broke apart I found every part but the transponder chip no locksmith will touch it and neither Chrysler or Mercedes will back this car its a bastard car . I live in Maryland and I can not find anyone who helps. so I took the transponder out of my last working remote and i attached it to the transponder ring but since I did this the car remote will not work only after sitting awhile will the remotes will lock or unlock my car , Guess you answered my question . But the dealership will not help me since it is not supported by either car company .I bought a bunch of 8 used key fobs hoping to get lucky well no luck .
Sorry to hear that. It sucks, I know.
@@LocksmithRecommended Guess there is no way to fix this problem ??
@@ryanreynolds7771 if the dealer won't do it, there's not much hope. We couldn't do it.

I just watched a video talking about how paying lock Smith's are a scam when it comes to car keys because you can find instructions on how to program them your self and you can also by the keys cheeper on line then in store
Doesn't sound like the guy knows what he's talking about. There are some keys you can add to the car yourself. Especially older ones. We provide those instructions on our website when you can do it yourself. Most newer cars will require a computer interface though.
We try to stay competitive with our key pricing, but as with most things, I am sure you can find them online someplace for less. A lot of our customers prefer supporting a small, US, veteran-run business than sending the money to some CEO someplace to pay for his next yacht or out of the country.
