Get help when the vehicle’s security system does not recognize the key.
The immobilizer is the security system that checks the key before allowing the engine to start. Reflashing means rewriting software or data in a control unit. It is only one possible repair, so the cause needs to be checked first. Tell us about warning messages, lost keys, and any recent repairs or computer replacements.
Some configurations need a workshop or dealer. An on-site result cannot be promised from the model name alone.

Road access to Coronado is via the San Diego–Coronado Bridge or the Silver Strand. Specify whether your car is in town or at Silver Strand State Beach; the ferry landing is only relevant if that is where the car is actually parked.
For beach camping, provide the campground and site or parking area. For hotel parking, check where outside service vehicles may enter. Restricted property requires access arrangements before a visit can be confirmed.

No. The key, vehicle battery, wiring, or a control unit may be causing the problem. We need to identify the cause before recommending programming or replacement parts.
We need a more precise location first. The bridge approach, the Strand, parking access, and the technician’s current location all affect the estimate. Ask for the current arrival estimate when you call.
Tell us what happened, which vehicle you drive, and where it is parked.
