How We Work With MG Keys and Immobilisers
Modern MG vehicles use transponder immobiliser systems and, on many models, smart keyless entry. We use a structured approach to keep the process smooth and secure:
-
Assessment and ID
- Verify vehicle ownership, assess the lock/ignition condition, and identify MG model and year (MG3, MG ZS, MG HS, MG5 EV, ZS EV, etc.)
-
Non-Destructive Entry Wherever Possible
- If you’re locked out, we use specialist tools and techniques to open the vehicle without damage
- In rare cases where drilling or component removal is the only option, we’ll explain clearly and get your approval before proceeding
-
Diagnostics and Coding
- Connect dealer-level OBD2 diagnostics to read immobiliser data
- Program transponder chips and remotes; for certain immobiliser systems, we can perform EEPROM programming when required
-
Cut and Test
- Cut your MG key (including laser/high-security blades) and pair it to the vehicle
- Thorough testing: door locks, remote buttons, starting, and dash warnings (immobiliser/key symbol)
-
Hand Over and Advice
- Provide usage tips, warranty information, and advice on keeping your MG key secure and reliable

Signs Your MG Key or Immobiliser Needs Attention

- Remote buttons work only at very close range or not at all
- Central locking not working on one door after battery change
- Key blade worn or bent; difficulty turning in locks
- Immobiliser warning or a flashing red key symbol
If you notice any of these, we can diagnose and fix the issue before it becomes an emergency. Explore our guidance on a key fob not working for quick checks you can try.
Getting a Spare MG Key Pays Off
A spare key saves time, stress, and money if one goes missing. We can:
- Clone and program a new MG spare key on your driveway or at your workplace
- Provide robust shells for daily use and keep your original as backup
- Offer advice on storage and key tracking to avoid future loss
If you’ve already lost all keys, don’t worry—we can still create a new key set and program it on-site.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make an MG key without the original?
Yes. We can create and program a new MG key from scratch using dealer-level diagnostics. For some models we may use EEPROM methods to extract immobiliser data. Proof of ownership is required.
Will you damage my MG when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. In rare cases where a component is already damaged or a non-destructive method isn’t viable, we’ll explain the options and get your approval before proceeding.
How long does MG key programming take?
Many MG keys can be cut and programmed within a single visit. The timeframe depends on model, key type (remote or smart), and immobiliser system. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate when you call.
Do you supply and program smart/proximity MG keys?
Yes. We handle smart key programming for push-to-start MG models, including ZS, HS, and MG5 EV, using approved procedures and secure coding.
My MG shows “key not detected.” What should I do?
First, replace the key battery and try holding the key near the start button as described in the owner’s manual. If it still fails, the transponder or remote may need programming or repair—call us for diagnostics.
Can you delete a lost or stolen MG key from the system?
Yes. We can program your immobiliser to forget lost or stolen keys, so they can no longer start the vehicle. We can also supply and program new keys during the same visit.
