A key programmer is a device that’s used to recode mechanical keys (ex. Garage door openers) and key fobs—small handheld remote control devices that control a remote keyless entry system, either by pressing a button or standing close to the car’s unlocking mechanism. Since many modern automobiles are equipped with coded transponders in their keys that allow operators to start or run the vehicle based on a received signal, key programming tools are being used more often to specially code replacement fobs when the original keys are lost or damaged.
Whether you currently operate a key cutting business and are looking to expand to the programming market or your auto dealership sells fob protection and/or key cutting and programming as a service, the best key programmers on the market are standalone units with bidirectional interfaces and on-board diagnostics connectors which make them the ultimate integrated scan tools.
