Key Replacement
If you've lost your primary Citroen car key and are in search of a replacement, it is recommended that you go to an auto locksmith that you trust. This is because it will save you money and hassle. In a dealership, you must bring your vehicle and your identification documents to order the key replacement. The key will arrive between two and five business days. You'll need to go back to the dealer to get your replacement Citroen keys programmed. This can be very expensive and time-consuming.
Citroen offers several different key types, depending on the model and year of your vehicle. Some models use a key fob that unlocks the door from some distance, while other require you to insert it into the ignition to start the engine. Keys with this feature are equipped with a transponder that enables them to communicate with your car. The chip embedded in the key has to be programmed to work with your specific car.
A mobile technician will travel to you and resynchronize your keys to your vehicle. They'll have all the equipment necessary to do the job and won't charge the same amount that dealers would.
Transponder Chips
Transponder chips that are in your keys are designed to stop your vehicle from being hot-wired. This is a technique commonly employed by thieves to steal cars. If you have an ignition key that has a chip, it will disable your immobilizer if the wrong key was used to start the vehicle. This technology is very efficient in preventing theft of cars.
Transponder chips on your citroen keys may become out of sync with your vehicle. It's essential to store them safely. A mobile locksmith can reprogram a key in case it's stolen or lost using the equipment in their van. This will cost less than a dealership will charge for a new set of keys.
A key with a transponder can simplify your life if you enjoy kayaking, fishing, or surfing. This type of key can be tucked away in your surfboard or fishing pole if you don't wish to carry a metal key with you.
Keys stolen or lost
Keep a spare key somewhere safe to avoid losing them. If you have a difficult time remembering where you put things, consider putting the spare key in a place that is easy to spot (like on your keychain). If you have trouble to remember where you put things, consider buying keys in a vibrant colour or pattern.
