Transponder Key Programming
Need a spare key, lost your remote, or dealing with a broken transponder? Our transponder key programming service covers all makes and models, from basic transponder keys through to the latest keyless proximity systems — at a fraction of main dealer prices.
Whether it's a straightforward spare key cut and programmed, a replacement remote fob, or a full keyless entry key paired to your vehicle, we handle it in-house without the wait or cost of booking through a dealership.
Why EC Performance
All makes and models covered in-house, with pricing well below main dealer rates.
Our transponder key programming service isn't limited to a handful of brands — we cover the vast majority of cars, vans and even motorbikes on UK roads.
You get the same end result as booking with a main dealer — a correctly cut and programmed key — at a significantly lower price and usually a shorter wait.
Modern keyless entry systems are fully supported, not just older transponder keys, so newer vehicles are just as well catered for as older ones.
Cutting and programming are done together in the same visit, and we also handle key pairing after an ECU replacement and key shell replacement for worn or damaged keys.
What's Included
The full range of transponder key programming and cutting work we carry out.
Physical key cutting combined with transponder chip programming, giving you a fully working spare rather than just a cut blade.
Remote fob programming for central locking and alarm functions, plus full keyless/proximity key programming for push-button start systems.
If your transponder has failed or been damaged, we can supply and programme a replacement without needing to replace the whole key where possible.
Our transponder key programming service extends to motorbike keys and commercial vehicle keys, not just standard passenger cars.
Also available: key shell replacement, key pairing after ECU swap, motorbike keys, and commercial vehicle keys.
