Key Programming

Lost Key? No spare? No Problem.

Key Programming

With today’s modern vehicles, even something as simple as the ignition key has become technically advanced. For Porsche, Audi and Bentley cars, the key itself is an integral part of the vehicles diagnostic system. The key serves as a remote unlocking device as well as a means for the on board ECUS to recognize authorization to start. Within the key are a radio transmitter for remote unlocking and a transponder that communicates with the alarm or comfort control unit, the instrument cluster, the engine ECU and even memory seat control unit! On some applications, even the vehicle service history can be read out. These sophisticated devices require the use of factory Scan Tools to be programmed.  At Technical Dimensions, we are the only Factory Authorized Key replacement location for Audi, Bentley and VW outside of the local dealer. We are also the only facility in the region capable of programming/re-initializing all New Porsche keys.

IMMOBILIZATION

In addition to keys, the Alarm or Comfort control unit, when failed, will terminate engine start. Very commonly for Cabriolet applications that have had water intrusion, the Alarm Control unit must be replaced and the new unit Programmed. As with our key services, we have full access to programming all Alarm or comfort control modules for Porsche, Audi and Bentley.
