Transponder Key Programming in Lawrenceville, GA

Most vehicles built in the last couple of decades use a transponder key — a small chip embedded in the key that the car has to recognize before it will start. Cut the blade alone and it may turn the lock, but the engine will not run until the chip is programmed to the vehicle. Mobile Pro Locksmith programs transponder keys on site in Lawrenceville.

This is different from fob work. A key fob is about the buttons and remote functions; a transponder is about the anti-theft chip that authorizes starting. Some keys are both. Tell us your year, make, and model and we will sort out exactly what your car needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a transponder key?

It is a key with a chip that the car reads to confirm it is allowed to start. Without the correct programmed chip, a copied key can turn but will not run the engine.

Can you add a transponder key without the original?

For many vehicles, yes, using your vehicle information and proof of ownership. Support depends on the make and model, so call first.

Is this the same as programming my remote?

Not exactly. The transponder handles starting; the remote handles lock and unlock. We can address both, but they are separate functions.
