Vauxhall Immobiliser and Key Tech Explained Simply
- Transponder chip: A small chip inside your key talks to your car’s immobiliser. If it isn’t recognised, the engine won’t start.
- Remote vs smart key: A remote key has buttons and a transponder; a smart/proximity key stays in your pocket and uses antennas to authorise starting.
- Programming: We securely pair your key to the immobiliser via the OBD2 port; in some cases (water damage, corrupted data), EEPROM or ECU programming is needed.
- Sync issues: If your key fob works intermittently, it might need re-synchronising, a new battery, or repair to internal components.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vauxhall Keys
Can you make a Vauxhall key without the original?
Yes. We can cut and program a new Vauxhall key from your vehicle’s locks and immobiliser data. With dealer-level equipment and, if needed, EEPROM techniques, we can create a working key even when all keys are lost.
Will you damage my Vauxhall when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, specifically tailored to Vauxhall door locks and deadlocks. If a destructive approach is the only safe option due to pre-existing damage or a fault, we’ll explain it clearly and get your approval first.
How long does Vauxhall key programming take?
Many jobs are completed within a single visit. Simple spare key programming may take around 30–60 minutes. Lost-all-keys scenarios or immobiliser faults can take longer due to security and set-up steps. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate on arrival.
Can you program smart/proximity keys for newer Vauxhalls?
Yes. We program proximity keys and push-to-start fobs for recent models like the Corsa F, Astra K, and Grandland. We use secure OBD2 programming and, where necessary, immobiliser/ECU programming to complete the job safely.
My Vauxhall key symbol is flashing and the car won’t start—can you help?
Absolutely. A flashing key symbol suggests an immobiliser/key recognition issue. We’ll diagnose with dealer-level tools, check transponder communication, and repair or reprogram as needed to restore starting.
Do you cover Vauxhall vans like Vivaro and Movano?
Yes. We regularly assist with Vivaro, Combo, and Movano keys, fobs, and locks, including fleet and commercial setups. See our dedicated van and commercial locksmith service.
