Lost All Citroen Keys?
Citroen immobiliser systems vary depending on the vehicle year and key type.
Up to 1997, Citroen vehicles generally did not use transponder chips, including models fitted with keypad immobiliser systems. These keys are usually much simpler to replace, even in all-keys-lost situations.
From 1998 onwards, Citroen introduced transponder keys using the Philips fixed-code type 33 chip (commonly known as the T5 transponder). These keys and remote fobs require programming so the vehicle recognises the unique immobiliser code before starting.
From 2001, Citroen upgraded security further with rolling-code transponder systems using Philips type 46 (T14) technology. Traditionally these systems required diagnostic programming through the OBD port along with a vehicle PIN code to authorise new keys.
We use advanced programming equipment which allows many standard Citroen keys to be programmed quickly on site, often without needing the PIN code when a working key is available.
Citroen PIN Codes & Remote Fobs
A vehicle PIN code is normally required when:
* All keys are lost
* Programming a remote key fob
* Adding certain immobiliser keys
The PIN is originally supplied on the Citroen security card, but if it’s missing, we can usually retrieve it for you without needing to visit the dealership.
We also supply and program remote central locking fobs, including systems where the remote controls both the central locking and factory alarm functions.
Citroen Relay Van Key Programming
The Citroen Relay uses a specialised Fiat-based immobiliser system which requires advanced programming techniques.
Unlike standard key programming, the transponder is pre-coded to the vehicle chassis, meaning EEPROM programming is often required. This involves extracting vehicle security data directly from the ECU or immobiliser system and writing it to a new transponder chip.
Dealers often require special factory-ordered keys and lengthy wait times, especially in all-keys-lost situations. Our specialist equipment allows us to supply and program replacement Citroen Relay keys much faster, often within just a few hours.

Citroen Help & Advice
Visit our FAQ section for helpful tips, expert advice, and answers to common questions.
Do I need a PIN code to program a new Citroen key?
A vehicle PIN code is essential when all keys are lost or when programming a remote key fob. If you still have a working programmed key, standard non-remote keys can often be programmed without the PIN code. If your security card is missing, we can quickly obtain the PIN code for you — no need to visit the dealership.
I’ve lost my only Citroen key, do I need to go to the dealer?
No, we can replace lost keys for the full range of Citroen models without the hassle of visiting the dealership.
Going through the dealer usually means arranging transport for your vehicle, providing documents and ID, paying upfront, and then waiting several days for the key to arrive before it can even be programmed.
With us, it’s much simpler. Our engineer comes to you, checks your proof of ownership, cuts and programs your new key on site, and you only pay once the job is completed. Fast, convenient, and stress-free.
Can you replace and program Citroen keys and remote fobs?
Yes, we can cut and program replacement Citroen keys and remote fobs for almost every model in the range, including the specialised Citroën Relay with its Fiat immobiliser system. We provide solutions for spare keys, lost keys, remote fobs, and even stolen key deactivation.
Can you help if my keys are locked inside the car or broken?
Absolutely. We offer a non-destructive vehicle entry service for keys locked inside the car, even outside office hours. We also provide broken key extraction and replacement services, including solutions for badly worn or snapped keys.
