Modern car keys include chips, remotes, proximity fobs and immobiliser data. That is why a simple metal copy is often not enough.
Why programming matters
The key blade may turn the lock, but the vehicle still needs to recognise the transponder or fob before it starts.
When to arrange a spare
Arrange a duplicate while you still have a working key. Waiting until every key is lost can limit the options.
