All Keys Lost: What Changes?

An all keys lost service in Burbank is more involved than making a spare from an existing working key. When there is no key to copy, our technician must confirm the correct key type, verify ownership, and prepare the vehicle to accept a new key safely.

This type of car key replacement with no original key may cost more than duplicate keys because it can require extra security access, cutting information, and testing time. In most cases, our mobile locksmith no key situation service is completed on-site, so towing to a dealership is not required.

AKL may require:

  • ECU or immobilizer reset/reprogramming when the vehicle security system requires it
  • Key code retrieval for mechanical keys when there is no original key to copy
  • Additional labor and programming time compared with a simple duplicate key

Frequently Asked Questions

What is immobilizer programming and why do I need it?

An immobilizer is the anti-theft chip in your key that communicates with a module in your car. The engine will not start unless the immobilizer recognizes the key. Whenever you add a spare, lose all keys, or replace a security module, the new key or module must be programmed (paired) to your specific vehicle.

Can you program a replacement BCM or ECU on-site?

Yes. We perform on-site BCM programming and ECU coding/synchronization for most makes and models using OEM-grade equipment. After the module is installed, we relearn the immobilizer, key data, and security pin so the vehicle starts and operates normally.

My security light is flashing and the car won't start — can you help?

Yes. A flashing security or anti-theft light usually means the immobilizer is not recognizing the key, or the security module has lost sync with the ECU. Our mobile diagnostic team identifies the cause and either re-pairs the existing key, reprograms a new key, or re-syncs the modules.

Do you handle anti-theft system resets after a battery disconnect?

Yes. Some vehicles enter anti-theft lockout mode after a dead or disconnected battery. We perform the correct relearn procedure to restore normal operation without forcing you to tow the car.

Which brands do you program immobilizers for?

We program immobilizer and security systems for nearly all passenger vehicles — Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Lexus, Acura, Mazda, Subaru, Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, RAM, and GMC.

Is mobile immobilizer programming cheaper than the dealer?

Usually yes. You save on towing, dealership labor rates, and appointment delays. We provide a flat-rate quote up front by phone or text — no hidden fees and no diagnostic surprises after we arrive.

How long does immobilizer or security programming take?

Most immobilizer pairing and key programming jobs take 30–60 minutes on-site. Full ECU/BCM coding or all-keys-lost security resets can take 60–90 minutes depending on the vehicle and module type.

Do you offer emergency immobilizer programming at night?

Yes — we offer 24/7 emergency security and immobilizer programming throughout Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, and North Hollywood. Call or text any time and a mobile technician will be dispatched.
