Hyundai Car Key Solutions: How We Work
We bring a fully equipped mobile workshop to you anywhere in Twickenham and the TW postcode area, so there’s no need for recovery to a dealer. Our approach is efficient, secure, and designed to minimise disruption.
-
Non-destructive vehicle entry wherever possible
- We use specialist locks and air wedges to open your Hyundai without damage if keys are locked inside. Only in rare cases (e.g., severe lock damage) will we discuss alternative methods first.
-
Hyundai key cutting and programming on-site
- High-precision cutting for laser cut and standard keys.
- Transponder and smart key programming using dealer-level equipment. We connect via OBD2 for most models and can perform EEPROM/ECU immobiliser programming where needed for certain Hyundai systems.
-
Fault finding and repairs
- Diagnostics for “key not detected”, immobiliser light issues, and keyless entry faults.
- Remote key fob repair, battery replacement, and circuit checks.
- Lock and ignition assessment, including extraction of broken key blades and ignition barrel repairs.
-
Security and data integrity
- If keys are lost or stolen, we can delete old key IDs so they no longer start your car, then pair new keys and test central locking and immobiliser operation.
-
Testing and guarantees
- Every key is cut, programmed, and tested for starting, remote locking/unlocking, and boot release. We provide warranties on workmanship and the keys we supply.

Hyundai Car Key Replacement in Twickenham
Lost, stolen, or damaged Hyundai keys don’t have to derail your day. We supply and programme replacement Hyundai keys on the spot. Depending on your model:
- Standard and flip keys: Cut and programmed with transponder pairing to the immobiliser.
- Remote fobs: Buttons and central locking tested, with battery and case integrity checked.
- Smart/proximity keys: Secure pairing to your Hyundai, start/stop functionality confirmed, and old keys erased if required.
If you only have one working key, it’s a smart move to arrange a spare. It’s quicker and usually cheaper to add a spare key than to deal with an emergency later. For more detail on options, see our dedicated Car Key Replacement service.
Hyundai Key Programming and Diagnostics
Modern Hyundai vehicles use transponders and immobiliser systems that require precise programming. Our mobile units carry dealer-level programming tools:
- Transponder key programming for older and current models
- Smart key programming and “key not detected” troubleshooting
- OBD2 programming for most models; EEPROM/ECU immobiliser programming for advanced cases
- Remote central locking configuration and re-synchronisation
If your Hyundai key fob has stopped working or you’re seeing immobiliser warnings, our specialist Car Key Programming service will diagnose and resolve the fault quickly and safely.

FAQs: Hyundai Keys and Locks
Can you make a Hyundai key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new key from your vehicle using secure decoding methods, then programme it to your immobiliser. If keys are lost or stolen, we can also remove old keys from the system for security.
Will you need to tow my Hyundai to a dealer?
No. Our mobile service brings dealer-level Hyundai diagnostics and key cutting/programming to you. This saves time and the cost of recovery in most situations.
Can you programme Hyundai smart/proximity keys?
Yes. We programme smart keys for models like Tucson, Kona, Santa Fe, Ioniq, and more. We pair the new key to your car, test push-to-start, and verify remote functions.
My Hyundai says “Key Not Detected”. What should I do?
First, check or replace the fob battery. If the message persists, it may be a key, antenna, or immobiliser issue. We can diagnose and fix this on-site with OBD2 diagnostics and, if required, EEPROM-level programming.
What if my Hyundai key snapped in the ignition?
Do not force it. We provide broken key extraction and ignition repair. We’ll remove the fragment carefully and cut/program a replacement key, checking the barrel for wear.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In rare cases of pre-existing damage or unusual faults, we’ll explain the options and get your consent before proceeding.
How long does Hyundai key replacement take?
Many replacements are completed in one visit. Cutting and programming can take 30–90 minutes depending on the model, key type, and whether diagnostics or EEPROM work is needed.
