Will this work for older Victory Hammers? Mine's a 2009.

I have a 2011 Victory Hammer, will this method work for that year?

Trying to avoid reprogramming costs for my Victory Hammer. This is a lifesaver.

I have the same Victory Hammer and I'm also trying to find the key code.

🔑 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: Replace key fob batteries every 1-2 years as preventative maintenance
Key Fob Issues
Many cars have a resync procedure: 1) Press lock/unlock buttons while near the car 2) Insert key and turn ignition on/off in a specific pattern 3) Use a sequence of button presses. Check your manual for exact steps - procedures vary widely by manufacturer.
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 Tip: Keep spare keys in a faraday bag to prevent signal amplification theft
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.
Key Fob Issues
This typically indicates: weak fob battery (replace first), damaged fob antenna, or issues with your car's receiver (often in the door handle or rearview mirror). Environmental interference from other electronics can also reduce range.
Key Tip: Replace key fob batteries every 1-2 years as preventative maintenance
Key Fact: Modern transponder keys have been required in all new US vehicles since 1998
