Modern Car Keys Are Not All the Same
Ford, BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Toyota and Jaguar do not use one universal key system. Depending on the vehicle, the job may involve a standard transponder, remote fob, proximity key, encrypted immobiliser module or bench programming when normal OBD access is not enough.
That is why AH Auto Keys uses multiple professional systems rather than relying on one programmer. Aaron selects the tool and process based on the manufacturer, model, year and key situation.
Mainstream all-makes immobiliser and key programming, including many Ford, Vauxhall, Peugeot, Toyota, Kia and Hyundai vehicles.
Used for more specialist systems including BMW, Mercedes and JLR applications.
Strong VW-group and multi-make coverage for transponder generation, PIN work and remote programming.
Bench programming for encrypted modules such as certain Audi BCM2 and BMW CAS jobs.
