    About this ebook

    Car keys have developed from the simple systems which were no more advanced than the front door key of a house to very advanced forms that use onboard computers for their operation. Modern vehicles also have push button remote locking/unlocking, it is rare these days to push your Car Key into the barrel to open it. Most cars now use Remote Control Keys to open.

    These improvements in the Car Keys Systems, has however made it difficult for genuine car owners to duplicate their Car keys or get a replacement when they lose them. The process requires specialize skills and knowhow for even a regular locksmith.

    This book has therefore been written to inform and guides anyone who wants to develop the skills required to duplicate or replace keys of modern cars.

      Some vehicle make like Renault and Peugeot also employed infra-red technology in some of their early remote locking systems.
