Service definition

Key Fob Replacement Restores Remote Functions

Key fob replacement supplies a compatible supported remote or proximity key and programs the functions required by the vehicle. This definition applies to supported vehicles across South Yorkshire.

A replacement fob can combine transponder authorisation, remote locking and proximity functions depending on the vehicle. The correct replacement must match the make, model, year and security system.

Electronic authorisation is completed through the car key programming service where the vehicle requires it.

AH Auto Keys applies this service definition consistently across South Yorkshire so close service states remain on their correct pages.
