High End Car Key Replacement Melbourne
High End Car Key Replacement Melbourne
Our high end car key replacement services in Melbourne include:
Key replacement, including remote, proximity and smart keys for many modern premium vehicles. Most models are supported, helping Melbourne drivers replace lost, damaged or faulty high-end car keys with correct programming and coding.
Dashboard replacement, where the immobiliser is housed in the dashboard and occasionally fails. These units are expensive and often have long parts delays. We replace these with second-hand units where suitable to save both time and money. Symptoms include ‘SAFE’ or ‘DEF’ on the dashboard centre screen, flashing immobiliser light and a failure to start.
Lock replacement, where high-end vehicles have accurate mechanical locking systems with complex parts that can fail. These include the door lock and latch assembly, ignition lock cylinder and steering lock assembly. We replace these and retain the original key code where possible.
Electronic Steering Lock replacement, where smart key and push button start models often have an ESL or electronic steering lock. These modules are prone to failure and can often be refurbished, while some need replacement.
Engine Control Unit replacement, where ECU issues can cause starting or automatic gearbox symptoms. We recommend mechanical diagnosis first. If the ECU is confirmed faulty, we can replace most types with a suitable second-hand unit.
