Bought a European key online? Let us check it before the trip.
European keys are where online listings go wrong most often: wrong frequency, wrong chip, locked used keys. Send a photo of the key and its part number. If it fits your car, we program it at the car.
- Open 24/7
- European specialist
- Price by text first
- We program customer-supplied keys for BMW, Mini, Audi, VW, Mercedes FBS3, Volvo and Land Rover where the key fits.
- Used BMW, Audi and VW keys are often locked to their first car; some can be unlocked, many can't.
- Send the part number or a photo of the back first.
- Keys you supply aren't covered by the key warranty; our programming is.
- We don't move boards into new shells.
What to check
- Part number from the maker, not just the look
- Frequency for your car's market: many listings are keys for European-market cars, which often use a different frequency and won't work on a US car
- New or used: used keys may need unlocking or may be unusable
- Smart or remote: Comfort Access and non-Comfort Access keys are different parts
When we suggest our key instead
If a listing is likely to fail on your car, we tell you before you pay for a trip and offer a key we know works.
Questions about this
Can you program a used BMW key?
