Modern vehicle keys aren't just metal — they contain a transponder chip that must be paired to your car's immobilizer before the engine will start. ADAM Keys & Remote programs car keys on site for vehicles across Manassas, Manassas Park, Woodbridge, Fairfax and Northern Virginia.
Transponder Key Programming
Most car keys built since the late 1990s contain a transponder chip. Even if the blade is cut perfectly, the car will not start until the chip is programmed to communicate with the immobilizer. We perform both onboard programming (when supported by the vehicle) and PIN-protected or EEPROM programming for tighter-security systems.
Smart Key & Push-to-Start Programming
Push-to-start and proximity smart keys add a comfort-access layer on top of the immobilizer pairing. Our technician handles both the security pairing and the remote functions (lock, unlock, trunk, panic) so the fob works the way the original did. See our smart key programming page for details.
Add a Spare Key for Less
Programming an additional key while you still have a working key is much cheaper than an all-keys-lost job. A spare also prevents a future emergency lockout. See duplicate car keys.
