Why won’t my new car key start the car?
Most car keys contain a chip that must be programmed to the vehicle’s immobilizer. A key that’s cut but not programmed will turn but won’t start the car. A locksmith can program it at your vehicle; bring every key you want to keep working.

- New key turns but won’t start the car
- Remote buttons stopped workingsome need re-syncing after a battery change
