MCCoding — technical reference

Immobiliser signal chain

Sheet: MCC-KEY-01
Scale: NTS

A key is only a key when every module in this chain agrees. That is what programming actually does.

Key fob & transponder: Remote buttons plus a chip that answers the car's challenge — the part that has to be married to the vehicle.

Blank keys are not keys

A cut blade opens doors. Starting the engine needs the transponder written into the car's key list.

All keys lost is a data job

With no working key we read the immobiliser data out, calculate the key, then write a fresh one in.

Spares are cheaper before the panic

Adding a spare while one key still works is a short job. Losing the last key is a much bigger one.

Coding keeps the car standard

Keys, comfort access and remote functions are coded to your build, not bodged with generic settings.

Overview

We program transponder keys, remote keys and smart / proximity keys to your vehicle's immobiliser. Work is done mobile on-site or in-workshop. When no keys are available the car can be locked or unlocked — we recover key data via OBD, EEPROM or dedicated all-key-lost procedures.

Frequently asked questions

Do you cut and program keys on-site?

Yes. We cut blades to code and program transponders / smart keys at your location or workshop across the UK.

Can you help when all keys are lost?

Yes. When no keys are available we can program a new key with the car locked or unlocked, using EEPROM or all-key-lost procedures.

Do new keys wipe old ones?

Depending on the system, existing keys can be preserved or the immobiliser can be re-synced so only your keys work.

How long does key programming take?

Typical add-a-key jobs take 20–45 minutes. All-keys-lost jobs on protected systems can take 1–3 hours.
