Key Replacement

It is best to contact an experienced auto locksmith if you've lost the only Citroen key that you own and require a replacement. This is because it will reduce the cost and stress. You'll need to take your car to the dealership, and present your identification documents in order to obtain a replacement key. The key will be delivered between two and five business days. Once it arrives you'll need to come back in to have the replacement Citroen key programmed to your vehicle. This is time-consuming and costly.

There are several different types of Citroen keys, based on the year and model of your vehicle is. Certain models come with keys that open doors from a distance, while others require you to insert it into the ignition to start your vehicle. Keys with this feature are equipped with a transponder which allows them to communicate with the car. The chip is embedded into the key, and needs to be programmed to match your car.

A technician on the move will come to you and resynchronize your key to your vehicle. They will have the appropriate equipment needed to accomplish this task and won't cost you nearly as much as a dealership would.

Transponder Chips

Transponder chips in your keys are designed to stop your vehicle from being hot-wired. This is a popular method employed by thieves to steal cars. If you own a key with a chip, it will deactivate your immobilizer in the event that the wrong key was used to start the vehicle. This technology is extremely efficient in preventing theft of vehicles.

The transponder chips in the keys of your Citroen Ds3 can become out of sync with your vehicle from time to time, so it's important to ensure their security. A mobile locksmith can reprogram keys in case it's stolen or lost with the help of their van. The cost will be much lower for this service than at the dealership.

A transponder key will make life easier for you when you love kayaking, fishing or surfing. This kind of key can be tucked away in your fishing or surfboard pole if you don't want to carry a metal key with you.

Keys that were stolen or lost are not found

The best way to ensure that you don't risk losing your Citroen keys is to keep a spare somewhere safe. If you have a hard finding the right place to put things, consider putting the spare key in a location that is easy to spot (like on your keychain). If you find it difficult to remember where you have put things, try buying the keyring in a striking colour or pattern.

From g28carkeys.co.uk , Citroen vehicles and vans do not have transponders, so creating a spare key is relatively easy and can be done on-site. From 1998 all vehicles will be equipped with transponders which must be programmed into the chassis. This requires specialist equipment.

If you have lost or stolen your Citroen keys to your car or van you'll need to visit your dealer and present your V5 and ID to request replacement keys. Then they can take two to five days to arrive and will have to be programmed to your vehicle before you can drive it. We can program and cut keys replacements in a fraction the time required at the dealership, and for a lower price.

We can also reprogram damaged Citroen remote control (fob) keys that can easily become out of sync with the vehicle. This isn't something that can be done by your local mechanic or garage, but our mobile technicians have the equipment in their vans to accomplish this fast and efficiently.
