Will this fix a car that still won't start after a new key?
This service restores a recognized key so the immobilizer allows start. It does not repair a dead 12V battery, a mechanical ignition or steering-lock fault, or a charging/starter no-start. Those are separate mechanical repairs and software cannot fix them.
Do you cut the mechanical emergency key blade?
No. We program the smart-key electronics to the ECU. Cutting the mechanical emergency blade for the door/glovebox is done by a local locksmith or dealer using your key code, separate from this bench service.
