Will this work for older MZ Charlys? Mine's a 2009.

🔑 Car Key & Fob FAQ

Common questions about key programming, fob issues, and replacement options

Key Programming
Some vehicles allow DIY key programming using specific sequences (like turning ignition on/off with original keys). However, most modern cars require specialized equipment only locksmiths or dealers have. Check your owner's manual for your specific model.
Key Tip: Always have at least two working keys to avoid expensive replacements
Key Programming
Common reasons: wrong key type for your vehicle, anti-theft system needs reset, low car battery voltage during programming, or the key isn't properly synced. Some cars also have programming limits (only 2-4 keys can be registered).
Key Tip: Avoid exposing key fobs to water or extreme temperatures
Security Systems
An anti-theft system that prevents the engine from starting unless it detects the correct transponder chip in the key. The chip sends a unique code to the car's computer when you turn the ignition. No match = no start, even with a physically matching key.
Key Tip: Consider key insurance for expensive smart keys
Key Programming
Most transponder keys and smart keys can be reprogrammed if they haven't been damaged. Basic mechanical-only keys (no chip) can't be reprogrammed - they must be physically cut to match your locks.
Lost Keys
Yes, a skilled auto locksmith can extract the broken key and make a replacement. They can often do this without damaging the ignition cylinder. The new key will need programming if it has a transponder chip.
Key Fact: Many cars can store up to 8 different key codes in memory
