Citroen Key Replacement

Citroen Key Replacement in San Jose

Citroen vehicles use a range of key and fob types depending on the model and year. Older models typically rely on a basic transponder key, where a chip in the key head talks to the car's immobilizer before the engine will start. Many later cars use a remote head key or flip (switchblade) key that combines the cut blade, the transponder, and lock/unlock buttons in one unit. Newer trims may use a proximity smart key with push-to-start, letting you unlock and start the car with the fob in your pocket. Models like the Citroen C3, C4, C5, and the Berlingo are the ones most likely to turn up on South Bay roads.

Every modern Citroen runs an immobilizer (anti-theft) system, so a new key has to be both cut to the lock and electronically programmed to the car before it will start. A blank or uncut copy will not work on its own. Because these systems vary by exact year, make, and model, we confirm what your specific Citroen needs over the phone first rather than promising a result sight unseen.
