MOTORCYCLE KEY PROGRAMMING
Chip keys programmed to your bike, where it is parked
Luxury Automotive Locksmith LTD programs motorcycle transponder keys and fobs to the bike’s immobiliser at your parking spot across Vancouver and Metro Vancouver, 24 hours a day. A new key will only start the bike once its chip has been paired to the motorcycle, and we do that on site, with no trailer.
Programming is separate from cutting. The blade opens the ignition, but the chip decides whether the engine runs, and the bike must recognise it.
Programming jobs we handle
- A new chip key after one is lost
- An extra key added to the bike
- Replacing a key the immobiliser no longer recognises
- Pairing smart keys and fobs
- Programming after an all-keys-lost job
HOW PROGRAMMING WORKS
Cut, pair, test: what happens at the bike
1. We confirm the key type. Chip key or smart key, and the make, model and year, decide the method.
2. We pair the key to the bike. Using our programming equipment, we register the new key’s chip so the immobiliser accepts it.
3. We test every function. The new key is tested in the ignition, and the spare keys are checked at the same visit.

WHEN PROGRAMMING IS NEEDED
Signs a motorcycle key needs programming
A key that fits and turns is not always a key the bike accepts. If the bike sat for the wet months or the battery went flat, tell us when you call.
Need the key cut too? See motorcycle key replacement.
- A new key turns the ignition but the bike will not start
- The immobiliser light stays on or flashes with your key
- You have had a key cut but never paired
- You want a spare chip key added before one is lost
