The Suzuki Kizashi is a bit of an odd duck.  Front view of Suzuki KizashiTo me it sounds like something a kung fu master would yell during a fight in an old martial arts movie but I digress. The Kizashi was made from 2010 to 2013 and used a Proximity fob as the vehicle’s key. A proximity fob to be clear is a remote that you can keep in your pocket that sends out a signal to the car when you press the ‘Start’ button to start the engine.

Suzuki Kizashi logoIf you own a Kizashi you might find it difficult to find someone to program in a new proximity fob for you.  This is because no aftermarket key programmer supports this car. Why? Because companies that develop (reverse engineer) software for aftermarket multi-vehicle key programmers tend to focus on cracking systems for mass markets like Fords or Chryslers.  The Kizashi is very unique. No other car on the market uses this particular fob, and it uses a proprietary system unique to this model.  And lets face it, how many of these cars do you see on the road?

Affordable Spare Kizashi Keys at McGuire Lock

Cloned Suzuki Kizashi keyIf you HAVE a proximity key that starts and runs the car now and you’d like a spare key or if you’re a dealership and need a bank key for possible repossession purposes in the future, we can clone these keys.  A clone as you would imagine is a digital copy of the transponder chip inside your current fob. The cloned key will unlock the door and start the engine manually. There is no remote functionality.  How is this possible?  If the battery in your fob dies, you can push the ‘Start’ button with the fob itself and it will start the engine. The developers of the car put a powered reader next to the start button that will allow the RFID transponder chip inside the key to be used with no power from the fob itself in case of emergencies.

So we can copy the digital information from your fob and paste it onto a special RFID transponder. It’s important to note that we NEED access to both your current proximity fob AND your car to make a clone. It’s not possible to clone these types of keys by the fob only meaning these cannot be done through the mail.
