Audi Key Cutting - Why Locksmiths Are Your Tech-Savvy Confidante
If your Audi key has stopped working correctly, whether due to physical damage or electronic malfunctions, a locksmith becomes your trusted tech-savvy friend. With fast responses and cost-effective solutions, locksmiths are an uncompromising alternative to dealerships.
A local locksmith can cut and program a new key on-site, saving you the time and cost of waiting at the dealership.
Transponder Keys
Basically, transponder keys have an embedded microchip that transmits a unique digital code to the vehicle. This code matches the serial number on the car's computer. If it doesn't match, the car will not start. This is an awesome technology that has drastically reduced car thefts.
Most cars built in the past 20 years are fitted with this amazing technology. If you own an older vehicle, it is still possible to have transponder keys. Beishir Lock and Security can cut keys from scratch and program the chip for you at less than the cost of a dealership.
This technology was created to stop car theft. Prior to this, thieves would simply connect two wires on the ignition switch of the car to switch it on. The transponder technology can stop this from happening as the vehicle won't start if the correct code isn't sent to the car's immobilizer system.
Another benefit of the chip is that it can be used to unlock trunks and doors without buttons. These "smart Audi fobs" have proximity sensors that will be activated when you are within a few feet from the vehicle. The sensor then sends a signal to the vehicle to allow the trunk and doors to open and unlock.
One disadvantage of the transponder system is that it can be difficult to diagnose issues. A bad battery is usually the reason behind a key that won't turn in the ignition. You can replace the battery with an easy DIY kit, but most people prefer having an expert do it for them. This means they can be sure the job is done properly and efficiently.
It is recommended to use a mobile locksmith if you require replacement of a transponder. These firms can make keys on site while you wait. This is much more convenient than going to the dealer and waiting to have your vehicle tow.
Side Cut Keys
If you require a standard key cut that can open your doors and begin the engine, we can cut one for you at a lower cost than the dealership. We also provide laser-cut keys with an elongated central groove that runs the length of the item. This allows the key to be put in from either side. The metal cuts of a laser cut key are stronger and more durable than the typical cut key.
Dealerships
