Unlike duplication (which needs your original key), replacement involves generating a new key from your vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and programming it directly to your car's ECU via OBD port. Our technicians carry the latest key generation software and a comprehensive library of key blanks, covering everything from basic mechanical vehicles to the latest proximity/smart keys.
The process starts with identity verification — we will ask for your Emirates ID, vehicle registration (Mulkiya) and a photograph of your driving licence. This is a legal requirement to prevent unauthorised key production. Once verified, the technician generates the key code from the VIN, cuts the blade, and programs the transponder/remote to your vehicle.
Replacement takes 45 minutes to 1.5 hours on-site. All existing keys can be erased from the vehicle's memory on request, so a previously lost key can no longer be used to access your car. We cover all mainstream brands sold in the UAE and many European and American luxury marques.
