Smart car keys offer a variety of benefits.
Possibly the biggest advantage of using a smart key is that it offers significant convenience. so drivers don’t have to worry about groping with the keyhole (especially in the dark), the door automatically unlocks when you’re close.
Smart keys are a substantial improvement over conventional keys. The signal is encrypted, so hacking a smart key is difficult.
Likewise, in case of an emergency, the last thing you’d want is to be found outside fumbling with your car keys. With a smart key, you don’t need to reach into your pocket or backpack; the door is unlocked immediately.
If you have a conventional car key, it will wear out after a while. Traditional keys are heavy, and most people often add other keys to the keyring.
This puts undue stress on the ignition, causing considerable wear and tear over time. That’s one of the reasons why push-start ignition systems last longer.
More notably, smart keys have battery indicators that will warn you well in advance when it’s running low. Replacing the battery is also incredibly simple, so you don’t need any specialised tools.

Losing your Mercedes-Benz key or dealing with ignition issues can be stressful. Modern Mercedes keys, whether remote fobs, transponders, or push-to-start smart keys, often require advanced programming and professional expertise. At Northriding Mobile Locksmith, we specialise in Mercedes-Benz key replacement and coding in Gauteng, offering on-site solutions to get you back on the road quickly.
Q: I lost my original Mercedes key, have no spare, and need a duplicate. How much will this cost?
A: The cost depends on several factors, including the year, make, and model of your Mercedes, the type of key (chip, fob, smart key, push-to-start), and the availability of codes. Contact Jay at 082 651 6416 for an accurate quote.
Q: Does my 2007 Mercedes Sprinter key have a chip?
A: Most Mercedes vehicles manufactured after 2000 use a chip (transponder) for security. If your key has a plastic cover at the top, it almost certainly contains a chip that needs to be programmed. Without coding, the key won’t start the vehicle.
Below are some examples of the various Mercedes keys and remote “push to start button” fobs:
Q: What are the different types of Mercedes-Benz keys?
Q: My 1999 Mercedes E500 ignition key won’t turn and my steering wheel is locked, what is the reason; do you need to change the ignition, what should I do?

BMW vehicles and technology evolve over time, at Northriding Mobile Locksmith we have the tools, technology, and machinery to produce keys required for your BMW. Next time you need a key replacement, skip the dealership and call Jay on 082 651 6416.
We believe that losing or misplacing a car key is an honest mistake and shouldn’t be an incredibly costly error, rather, it should be a problem that is relatively easy and quick to resolve. We specialise in fast key cutting and programming solutions at very affordable prices compared to most of our competitors.
Depending on the year and model of BMW, you might have a traditional car key or a state-of-the-art programmable key fob. The majority of BMW’s manufactured after 2000 will have a transponder style key. The key is used to start the engine and the transponder chip inside the key disarms the vehicles standard immobiliser system located in the engine control unit (ECU). In either case, getting a replacement can be a challenge if you don’t have the original key.
Car keys (both laser cut and programmable) are more complicated than standard house or door keys. Your average locksmith might be able to help you unlock your car, but probably won’t be able to make you a replacement key. The design and functionality of car keys just vary too much from brand to brand. We not only do BMW keys; we also unlock and make replacement keys for a wide variety of other makes; including VW, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, to name a few.
Whether your BMW is an older style key, transponder key or you need an emergency key, we are on hand, best of all, our business is 100% mobile, which means we can come to you, get you a replacement key and get you back on the road ASAP. Give Jay a call on 082 651 6416 for professional service.

IMPORTANT: Most Mercedes models made after 1998 are equipped with high-security keys, which only a few locksmiths can cut. In addition, models made after 2004 are equipped with a push to start high-security system, which in some cases the locksmith may not have stock on hand and will have to order in.
Calling an auto locksmith or dealer near you when you need a replacement is probably the most common thing to do. Based on your location, an auto locksmith can come to you or you may choose to have the vehicle towed to a dealership.
Some points to remember to help you save time and money regardless of the option you choose:
