Does California vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
California requires a biennial Smog Check emissions inspection in most counties through the BAR program. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all California and federal requirements.
Why do you need my door lock?
Most of these vehicles have no key code on file anywhere — the cut only exists inside your locks. We decode the driver's door lock cylinder on the bench and cut the blade to match, then the lock goes back in the box with your key.
Which lock should I send — door or ignition?
The driver's door lock cylinder. It is the easiest to remove, and on these vehicles the door and ignition are cut to the same code. Leave the ignition in the column; the SKIM ring comes off around it.
