Modern car keys aren't just bits of metal — every one contains an encrypted transponder paired to your car's immobiliser. Programming a new key means convincing the car to accept that transponder. We do this work mobile, on your driveway, using the same software the dealer uses.

Trade rates availableKey programming is unforgiving — wrong steps can lock you out of your own immobiliser. Every job is read, identified, programmed, then verified. You see the new key start the car and lock the doors before we leave.
First step is to identify exactly which immobiliser system your car uses — CAS3, FEM/BDC, immobiliser 4, MQB and so on. This decides whether the job's done by OBD or whether a module needs reading on the bench. Most modern cars are OBD-only.
Using the same manufacturer-level software the dealer uses, we programme the transponder, remote control and (where fitted) keyless / comfort access. Existing keys remain valid unless you specifically want them disabled.
Engine starts, locks operate, remote buttons work, keyless approach detects the key. You see it all working with the new key before we pack up. Old keys can be disabled at the same time if requested.
Mobile key programming covers most modern marques and immobiliser systems. These are the makes we programme keys for most often:

Lost all my keys to my F30. BMW dealer wanted £450 and a 2-week wait. DashTech came round, had a working key in 90 minutes. Saved me a fortune.
Needed a spare for my A4. Booked Friday evening, done Saturday morning on my driveway. Half what the dealer quoted. Brilliant.
Salvage-rebuild Range Rover needed all-keys-lost programming. DashTech sorted it on my drive — starts and locks perfectly. Will use again for sure.
