Vehicle Key Programming Duplication Services in Ontario, CA Lost All Keys | EEPROM Programming
Having a spare set of car keys provides peace of mind if you ever lose or damage your primary key. At IPAC Automotive, we offer professional vehicle key programming and duplication services in Ontario, California to keep you securely in the driver’s seat.
The Importance of a Secondary Car Key
Whether your keys were misplaced, stolen, or simply worn out from years of use, being locked out of your vehicle is an incredibly stressful and disruptive situation. Beyond the hassle, lack of access to your car can jeopardize your personal safety and schedule. An extra set of programmed keys allows you to immediately regain entry rather than waiting for assistance or paying costly locksmith fees.
Additionally, many modern vehicles have built-in security features like engine immobilizers, encrypted key fobs, and rolling security codes. Without proper programming from an authorized expert, replacement keys may not operate correctly with these anti-theft systems. Protect your investment by entrusting key duplication to our experienced automotive locksmiths. Ceramic Coating

The Key Cutting & Programming Process
Duplicating modern car keys requires specialized training and tools beyond basic cutting machinery. Our certified technicians follow a comprehensive multi-step process:
- Vehicle and Key Identification: We carefully inspect your current key and vehicle to identify the key type, transponder system, fob design, and cutting requirements.
- Loading Manufacturer Software: The appropriate OEM software and code database are loaded for your vehicle make, model, year and trim level. This allows us to precisely configure the new key.
- Obtaining Transponder & Remote Codes: Through diagnostic tools or EEPROM reading, we extract the unique transponder ID, remote codes and rolling security codes from your vehicle’s systems.
- Cutting New Key Blade: Using a laser or high-precision machine mill, we cut a new physical key blade to exactly match the patent design registered for your vehicle.
- Programming New Transponder: Those obtained codes are burned into the transponder chip of the new key using specialized programming equipment to authenticate it to your car.
- Syncing Remote Functions: All remote control functions like lock/unlock, trunk, panic, etc. are programmed and synchronized with your vehicle’s receiver.
- Testing and Quality Assurance: The freshly programmed key is comprehensively tested with your vehicle to ensure all functions (engine start, remote, driver settings) are operating flawlessly.
This multi-step process ensures a perfect duplicate key matched to your vehicle’s security protocols and eliminates any possibility of lockout issues. Our team takes pride in providing quality key duplicates you can rely on 100%.
