Key Replacement
It is recommended to call an auto locksmith that is reputable if you've lost your only Citroen key you have and need an replacement. This is because it will reduce the cost and stress. You'll need to bring your car to the dealership, and present your identification documents in order to obtain a replacement key. The key will be delivered between two and five business days. You'll need to go back to the dealer to get your replacement Citroen keys programmed. This is a lengthy and costly process.
Citroen has a variety of keys, based on the year and model of your vehicle. Some models have a key fob which unlocks the doors remotely, while others require you to insert it into the ignition in order to start the car. Most keys feature a transponder chip that is used to connect with your car. The embedded chip in the key needs to be programmed for your specific car.
A technician from the mobile will come to you and resynchronize your keys to your vehicle. They'll have the equipment needed to accomplish this task and won't cost you nearly as much as a dealership would.
Transponder Chips
Transponder chips that are in your keys are designed to protect your vehicle from being hot-wired. This is a method commonly employed by thieves to steal vehicles. If you have an ignition key that has a chip, it can deactivate your immobilizer in the event that the wrong key was used to start the car. This technology is very efficient in preventing theft of cars.
Transponder chips in your citroen keys can be out of sync with your vehicle. It's essential to store your keys in a secure location. If they're stolen or lost an expert mobile locksmith will use the equipment in their van to reprogram the new key so that it can be able to work with your car once again. You'll pay less for this service than at an auto dealer.
A transponder-equipped key will simplify your life when you love kayaking, fishing or surfing. Rather than having to worry about carrying a metal key to carry in case you have to lock your vehicle while you're on vacation, this type of key is waterproof and can be left on your fishing pole, surfboard or kayak.
Keys that were stolen or lost are not found
The best way to prevent losing your Citroen keys is to keep a spare somewhere secure. If you have a difficult recalling where you keep things, consider putting the spare key in a spot that is easily identifiable (like on your keychain). If you have trouble to remember where you have put items, consider purchasing a keyring in a bright colour or pattern.
From 1997 onwards, Citroen cars and vans don't use transponders so making an extra key is simple and can be completed on site. From 1998 onwards, all vehicles will have a transponder inside them, which needs to be programmed to the chassis of the vehicle and this requires specialist equipment.
If you've lost or have stolen your Citroen van or car keys you'll need to visit your dealer and bring your V5 and ID to request replacement keys. The replacement keys can take between two to five days to arrive and they must be programmed into your vehicle prior to being able to drive it. We can cut and program replacement keys for you in only a fraction of the time required by the dealership and at a much lower cost.
We can also reprogram damaged Citroen remote control (fob) keys which are easily out of sync with the vehicle. Our mobile technicians are equipped with the equipment to accomplish this task efficiently and quickly.
