Key Conversion Kits

To upgrade a worn, cracked, or dated basic key into a modern flip-key or remote-style housing without paying for a full new key — the conversion reuses your existing chip and electronics, so you get a fresh look and better ergonomics at a fraction of the cost of a complete remote key.

A full replacement key includes new electronics and a chip that must be programmed to your car. A conversion kit is a housing only — you move your existing electronics across, so the chip stays paired to your vehicle and no immobiliser reprogramming is needed.

No — the transponder chip and circuit board move from your old key into the new housing unchanged, so the immobiliser still recognises them. The chip is never reprogrammed during a conversion because it is the same chip your car already knows.

Only if you also add the matching remote electronics — a conversion kit is a housing, so upgrading a plain mechanical key into a remote-style shell gives the look but not the function unless a compatible circuit board and buttons are fitted and programmed. A key that already has remote electronics keeps its remote function after conversion.
