Easily Make Car Keys Using Keycodes

What's going on? Today we're gonna be talking about key codes. What are key codes and how do we find them? When a vehicle is made by a manufacturer, let's say GMC or Chevy, that specific vehicle has a unique key bidding to it. A bidding is the sequence of highs and lows of cuts in that key. When a manufacturer makes a car, based on their VIN number, they assign a specific key code with a specific bidding to that vehicle. One thing you should know about key codes is multiple vehicles are made with the same key code. Although it's highly unlikely that you're gonna come across two vehicles with the exact same key code, it is very well possible. Many vehicles require a leashy tool in order for us to pick and decode the door lock, but on certain vehicles, key codes can make the process much quicker and more efficient. Key codes can often be found engraved on locks throughout the vehicle. Sometimes they're on the door lock, sometimes they're on the ignition, and sometimes they're on the glove box. Many times these locks are really easy to pull out and just read that key code. And with that key code, we can either plug it into a database to convert it into bidding, or many key cutting machines today, you can just plug that key code directly onto your machine and you can get the bidding to spit out and all you have to do is hit cut key and you have a working key for the ignition. Common vehicle makes where locksmiths will seek out a key code is gonna be for Hondas, Toyotas, and GMC. These three, I'm constantly looking for the key code. For GMC, all you gotta do is go through a process of picking the ignition and popping that ignition cylinder out. Once it's out, you can see there's an engraved key code on that ignition, which I just type right into my machine and cut the key. On Hondas, that's another really common one. The glove box locks usually just comes out with a couple screws. Pull that out and simply, you can see the key code written right on it. Every locksmith out there needs to have a plan B. Sometimes you can't get that door lock out, you can't get that ignition lock out, or maybe your leashy tool does not wanna cooperate. That brings us to the next way to get key codes.
