    Key Remote Programming — Fast On-Site Service in North Devon

    Is your key fob not responding, or have you got a freshly cut key that won’t unlock or start your vehicle? At Key Smart Car Keys we offer professional key remote programming and reprogramming services across North Devon — carried out on-site by experienced mobile technicians.

    We program remotes for single-button fobs, flip keys, transponder keys with integrated remotes, and modern smart key systems. Whether your remote needs reprogramming after a battery change, you’ve bought a replacement shell, or you need a spare remote added, we’ll get it working correctly at your location.

    What We Program

    • Remote key fobs (lock/unlock)

    • Flip / folding keys with remote functions

    • Transponder keys with built-in remotes

    • Keyless entry and smart key fobs (start/stop systems)

    • Remote cloning and replacement remotes

    • Re-syncing after battery replacement

    We work with a wide range of makes and models — from everyday cars and vans to motorcycles with remote systems — using up-to-date diagnostic tools and manufacturer-level programming equipment.

    Common Remote Key Issues We Fix

    Sometimes a key remote stops working for reasons that aren’t obvious. Our technicians can diagnose and repair a wide range of remote and immobiliser problems, including:

    • Remote buttons not responding

    Frequently Asked Question

    My remote stopped working after a battery change — can you help?

    Yes. Often a remote needs re-syncing after a battery change; our mobile technicians can reprogram and test it on-site.

    Can you program a replacement remote I bought online?

    In most cases yes — as long as the remote is compatible with your vehicle. We’ll check compatibility and program it for you; if the remote isn’t suitable we’ll advise the correct replacement.

    Will programming my remote affect my vehicle’s security settings?

    No. We use manufacturer-approved procedures and diagnostic tools to program remotes safely without compromising your immobiliser or ECU.

    Can you add an extra spare remote to my vehicle?

    Yes — we can add additional remotes or duplicate existing ones and program them to work alongside your current keys.

    Do you cover motorcycles and vans for remote programming?

    Yes. We handle remote and transponder programming for cars, motorcycles, vans, and most commercial vehicles.
