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.

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.
Ask about a scheduled appointment and provide the vehicle details in advance. Bring all keys you currently use so the technician can discuss the programming process and test the intended keys afterward.
Tell us what happened, which vehicle you drive, and where it is parked.
