What Is Car Fob Duplication?

Car fob duplication copies the electronic code from your existing fob onto a new blank unit, then programmes it to your specific vehicle. Modern fobs contain transponder chips that communicate with your car's immobiliser system. Duplicating one requires specialist equipment and programming software matched to your make and model — our technicians carry that on every job.

How the Duplication Process Works

Our technician reads the data from your existing fob using specialist diagnostic equipment, then programmes a new blank fob to the same specifications. The whole process takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the make and model. The fob is tested before we leave. No hidden fees — the price quoted when you call is the price you pay.

Can Lost Car Fobs Be Duplicated?

If the original fob is gone, standard duplication is not possible — but we can still help. We read the immobiliser data directly from the vehicle and programme a brand new fob from scratch. It is a more involved process than a standard copy, but the end result is a fully working replacement key fob coded to your car. Call us and we will advise on the right approach for your make and model.

Security and Your Car Fob

Modern fobs use rolling code technology and encrypted electronic signals, making them very difficult to clone without specialist equipment. When Authorised Auto Locksmiths duplicates your fob, the new unit is coded specifically to your vehicle — no one else can use it. We only carry out work for verified vehicle owners. If you have concerns about your vehicle's security or suspect your fob has been compromised, call us for advice.

We regularly work on BMW, Ford, Audi, Fiat, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, Peugeot, Renault, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Kia, and many others — including vans. If you are unsure whether your vehicle is supported, call and we will confirm before you book.

Spare Car Fobs for Peace of Mind

Getting a spare fob duplicated while your original is still working is far cheaper than dealing with a lost fob in a panic. A spare means that if your fob is damaged, lost, or the battery fails, you are not stranded. It is a simple precaution that avoids a lot of trouble. We can arrange a visit at your convenience — call us to book.

Common Issues with Car Fobs

A flat battery is the most common cause of fob problems — try that first. If a new battery does not fix it, water damage, physical impact, or a lost programme are the likely culprits. Fobs can lose their programme after a car battery is disconnected. Our technicians can diagnose fob issues on-site and advise whether repair or duplication is the right course of action.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my fob can be copied?

Most automotive fobs can be duplicated if the original is present and working. Call us with your make, model, and year and we will confirm straight away. For vehicles where a direct copy is not possible, we can often programme a new fob from the car's immobiliser data.

Can you cut a replacement key and programme the chip at the same visit?

Yes. If your vehicle uses a blade-style key with a transponder chip, we can cut it and programme the chip in one visit. This is common on older vehicles where the key and fob are a single unit.

Do you carry replacement keys and fob parts with you?

Our technicians carry blank fobs and key parts for the most common makes and models. Most jobs are completed on the spot without needing to order parts in. If your vehicle is unusual, we will tell you upfront before booking.

Will you touch or damage my vehicle during the process?

No. Fob duplication is entirely non-invasive. We connect a diagnostic reader to the OBD port — nothing is cut, opened, or altered. The vehicle is left exactly as we found it.

How do I get in touch and place orders?

Call 08000 113933. Our communication is direct — you call, we quote, we visit. No forms, no call centres. We are a local Essex company and your call goes straight to our team. Orders and bookings are confirmed over the phone, usually for the same day.

Is car fob duplication the same as locksmithing?

It is a specialist branch of automotive locksmithing. We focus exclusively on cars and vans — not residential or commercial work. This locksmithing assistance is specialist automotive work, and our technicians have the experience and equipment to match.
