Secure-Gateway Fob Two Other Locksmiths Declined
The customer had purchased an OEM-spec fob online. Two local locksmiths attempted the job and gave up: the vehicle's security gateway module rejected their programmers, and neither held the licensed access required to authenticate through it.

What we did
- 01
Verified the fob's FCC ID, frequency and chip family against the VIN before booking, confirming it was a genuine match rather than a cloned board.
- 02
Scheduled a workplace appointment at The Domain so the customer never left her desk.
- 03
Established authenticated access to the manufacturer's secure gateway through licensed locksmith channels.
- 04
Wrote the fob to the immobiliser and body control module, retaining her existing key.
- 05
Verified passive entry, push start, walk-away lock and remote start at realistic range.
The result
Working second key in 20 minutes at a fraction of the dealership's parts-and-labour quote, with her original key untouched. The customer has since referred four colleagues from the same office park.
“Two other companies told me it was impossible. These guys explained exactly why the gateway blocked them and then just did it. Twenty minutes in the parking garage.”
