As an automotive locksmith, we have seen the rise of smart keys and push-to-start systems in modern vehicles. Smart keys are electronic keys that use a microchip and a radio frequency identification (RFID) transmitter to communicate with the vehicle's computer. When the key is within a certain range, the vehicle will recognize it and allow the doors to be unlocked and the engine to be started.

​

Push-to-start systems take smart keys one step further by eliminating the need for a physical key altogether. Instead, the driver only needs to have the smart key on their person and press a button on the dashboard to start the engine. This technology offers convenience and an added layer of security since the vehicle can only be started when the key is within range.

​

To program a smart key to a vehicle, it is crucial to do it safely and correctly. Our team of experts at 514 CLE AUTO uses specialized equipment and software to program smart keys to ensure that they are compatible with the vehicle's computer and that the programming is done securely. We also make sure to verify that the new key is functioning correctly before returning it to the owner.
