Exotic and Luxury Car Key Replacement: What to Expect
By Mega Lock And Key · MD Locksmith License #394 ·
Keys for exotic and luxury cars are programmed through the manufacturer’s own systems, so the locksmith needs dealer authorization and dealer-level software; with those, the key can usually be programmed where the car is parked, with no trailer to a dealer.
What makes these keys different
Exotic and luxury makes tie each key closely to the car's modules, and many newer models are programmed online through the manufacturer. General-purpose key tools are not enough. Mega Lock And Key has dealer authorization and dealer-level software for most makes, including newer European models.
