What I Offer

Locked out? Lost your only key? Need a spare? I provide a full range of automotive key services using professional-grade Autel equipment.

Add a Spare Key

Need an extra key fob for a family member or backup? Fast OBD-based programming for most modern vehicles. Bring your existing key and the new blank.

All Keys Lost

Lost every key to your vehicle? I can perform "all-keys-lost" immobilizer learning on supported vehicles, generating brand new keys via OBD or bench programming.

Transponder Cloning

Read, write, and clone transponder chips (ID4D, ID46, ID47, ID48, ID4A, ID49, Megamos, Hitag, and more) for fast, reliable duplication.

Remote & Smart Key Programming

Push-to-start smart keys and traditional remote fobs alike. Frequency detection (315 / 433 / 868 / 915 MHz) and remote learning for keyless entry.

Frequency & Coil Detection

Diagnose dead remotes by testing the actual RF frequency output and verifying ignition coil signal. Find out if it's the fob or the car before you spend money.

Auto VIN & Diagnostics

Auto VIN scan to identify your vehicle's exact key system and immobilizer type. No guessing — you get the right fob and the right procedure the first time.

How It Works

1

Check Compatibility

Search your vehicle in the list above or send me your year, make, and model. I'll confirm support and quote the right blank fob.

2

Bring Your Vehicle & Existing Key

For "add-key" jobs, bring at least one working key. For "all-keys-lost", bring the title and ID. Most jobs are completed on-site.

3

Programming & Testing

I plug into your OBD port (or pull the immobilizer module if needed), program the new fob, and verify start, lock, unlock, and panic functions.

4

You Drive Away

You leave with a fully working key, much faster and cheaper than the dealer. Most jobs done in 30–60 minutes.

Pricing & Service Terms

Simple, transparent pricing and clear policies so you know exactly what to expect before you book.

$75/ key

Flat rate · up to 4 keys per vehicle · OBD-listed vehicles only

No payment until the job is 100% complete. No deposits, no upfront fees.

OBD-Listed Vehicles Only

If your vehicle shows up in the search above with an OBD badge, I can program it. Bench-only vehicles require module removal and aren't part of this service.

All Keys Must Be Present

Every working key for the vehicle has to be at the appointment so it can be re-learned alongside the new ones. Lost a key? No worries — it simply won't be added during programming and will no longer work with the vehicle after.

Already Bought a Key? No Worries

I can program a key you've already purchased, as long as it's similar/compatible to the one that originally came with the car.

Pay Only When the Job is Done

I don't take any money until the keys are fully programmed and verified working — start, lock, unlock, and panic functions all confirmed before payment.

Licensed, Insured & Legal in TN

This service is 100% legal in the state of Tennessee with proper insurance and licensing. Proof of ownership is required on every vehicle before any work begins — current title, valid photo ID, and matching registration.

I Don't Open Locked Vehicles

I only work on vehicles that are open or accessible with a physical key. If you're locked out, you'll need a locksmith to gain entry first — then I can handle the programming.

Programming Only — I Don't Cut Keys

I program the chip and transponder so the car will start; I don't cut the physical blade. After programming, take your keys to a hardware store like Ace Hardware or Home Depot to have the blade cut so they can also physically open the door if your fob battery ever dies.

Good to Know

Limited BMW & Mercedes Support

The Autel KM100 has limited coverage on BMW (CAS3+/CAS4/FEM/BDC) and Mercedes-Benz vehicles. These usually require bench/EEPROM work or a higher-tier programmer. Contact me first to confirm.

CAN-FD Vehicles

Newer GM vehicles (2020+ Silverado, Sierra, Escalade etc.) using the CAN-FD protocol may not be supported. We can verify with your VIN before scheduling.

Toyota & Lexus — Now Supported

Good news: I now support a wide range of Toyota and Lexus vehicles via the Autel KM100 over OBD — Camry, Corolla, RAV4, Highlander, Tacoma, Tundra, 4Runner, Prius, Sienna, plus most Lexus ES/IS/RX/NX/GX/LX models. Add-key jobs require a working master/H-key. For all-keys-lost on smart-key Toyota/Lexus, contact me first — some still need bench programming.

Mercedes-Benz Limitations

Most Mercedes-Benz models are not supported by the KM100. For those vehicles I'd recommend a dealer or a locksmith with a Mercedes-specific tool (Autel IM608, AVDI, etc.).

Proof of Ownership

For "all-keys-lost" jobs I require a current vehicle title, valid photo ID, and registration matching the address. This protects everyone involved.

Ready to get your key programmed?

Send me your year, make, model, and what you need (spare key, remote programming, transponder cloning, etc.) and I'll get you a quote. Remember — I program keys, I don't cut them. After programming, take your keys to a hardware store like Ace Hardware or Home Depot to have the blade cut.
