The methodology for duplicating a car's ignition key is nearly standard for any model considered. In fact, when approaching specialized centers, we will always notice a consistent process involving the use of a specially designed electronic tool.

After connecting it to the vehicle's OBD port, it is configured by entering all the technical data. Then, the Master key is inserted into the ignition, and the transponder code contained in it is read.
