“Lost the only key to my Hilux on a Friday afternoon. New key cut and programmed in my driveway by Saturday morning — and it cost half what the dealer quoted. Will absolutely call again.”

GWM Tank 500 Key System and What We Can Do

The Tank 500 uses a push-button start smart key programmed through the OBD port into the immobiliser. With a working key available, we cut and program a spare at your vehicle. If every key is lost, we carry out all-keys-lost recovery — reading the immobiliser, generating a new key registration, and deleting the lost key's codes.

We confirm your exact Tank 500 variant and give a firm price over the phone before travelling.

Common GWM Tank 500 Key Problems in Hamilton

Flat fob battery: The most common Tank 500 callout — a dying CR2032 cell causes intermittent detection before it fails. We carry the correct battery and re-pair on site.

Lost only key: Many Tank 500 owners are running on a single key. Cutting a spare while the original still works is inexpensive and avoids a stressful emergency later.

Lockouts: Keys locked inside at home or in a car park — opened without damage using non-destructive tools.
