Replacement Keys

If you've lost your only Citroen car key and are in search of an alternative, it's recommended that you go to a trusted auto locksmith. This is because it will help you save money and time. You'll need to take your vehicle to the dealership, and present your identification documents in order to receive a replacement key. The key will arrive between two and five business days. After it arrives you must return to the store to get the replacement Citroen key programmed to your vehicle. This can be expensive and time consuming.

Citroen has a variety of key types, depending on the year and model of your vehicle. Certain models have a key fob which unlocks the doors remotely, whereas others require you to insert it into the ignition in order to start your vehicle. Most keys feature transponder chips which are used to connect with your car. The chip is embedded in the key and has to be programmed for your specific car.

A technician from the mobile will come to you and resynchronize the key to your vehicle. They will have the appropriate tools for diagnosing to accomplish this task and won't cost you as much as a dealership.

Transponder Chips

A transponder chip in your key is designed to block the hot-wiring of your vehicle. This is a method commonly used by thieves to steal vehicles. If you own a transponder key, the chip inside it will deactivate the immobilizer of your car if the wrong key is used to start it. This technology is extremely efficient in preventing theft of vehicles.

Transponder chips that are embedded in your citroen keys may be out of sync with your vehicle. It is important to store them safely. If they're lost or stolen, a professional mobile locksmith can use the equipment in their van to reprogram your new key to work with your vehicle again. This will cost less than a dealership will charge for a new set of keys.

A key with a transponder can make life easier for you in case you enjoy kayaking fishing, or surfing. Instead of worrying about taking a key made of steel with you in the event you need to lock your vehicle while you're away, this type key is water-resistant and can be left in your surfboard, fishing pole or kayak.

Keys stolen or lost

Make sure you keep a spare key safe to avoid losing them. If you're susceptible to forgetting where you put something consider putting the spare key in a place that's easy to remember (like your keychain). If you are struggling to remember where you put things, you can try purchasing the keyring in a striking color or pattern.

Citroen vans and cars prior to 1997 didn't use transponders, so making an additional spare is simple and is possible at the site. From 1998 the vehicles will all have transponders which must be programmed into the chassis. This requires specialist equipment.
