“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.”

MG5 Key System and What We Can Do

The MG5 uses a smart proximity key programmed via the OBD port into the vehicle's immobiliser. With a working key available, we cut and program a spare at your car. 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 so it can never start the car again.

We confirm your exact MG5 variant and give you a firm price over the phone before travelling, so there are no surprises when we arrive.

Common MG5 Key Problems in Hamilton

Fob battery flat: The most common MG5 callout — a failing CR2032 cell causes intermittent detection. We carry the correct battery and re-pair the fob on site.

Lost only key: Many MG5s are running on a single key from new. Cutting a spare while the original still works is inexpensive and avoids an emergency callout later.

Lockouts: Keys shut inside at work or home — opened without damage using an air wedge and long-reach tool.
