Behind the scenes of a perfect spare key! 🔑
​Ever wonder how we create a spare key when you don’t have a working one? It’s not just about cutting the metal blade — it’s about the high-tech magic inside!
​In this photo, I’m using my Xhorse Key Tool Max Pro to clone a transponder chip. This is the "brain" of your car key that communicates with your vehicle's immobilizer system. Without properly cloning or programming this chip, the car simply won’t start, even if the key fits the ignition.
​Whether you have a modern push-to-start fob or a traditional transponder key, we use professional-grade diagnostic equipment to ensure your spare key works just like the original — often for a fraction of the cost you'd pay at the dealership!
​Need a spare key? Don’t wait until you lose your last one. Give Red Deer Auto Keys & Lockout a call/text at 587-781-1493 and let’s get you covered.
