Car Keys Express Announces New Universal ‘Smart’ Key, the World’s Most Advanced Car Key
Car Keys Express Universal Smart Key
The Car Keys Express Universal Smart Key is the world's most advanced car key, combining hundreds of OEM smart keys into a single retail-friendly device.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 18, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Car Keys Express, the U.S.-based global leader in automotive key replacement, announced the upcoming release of the Universal Smart Key. The product is expected to begin shipping in Q4 2023.
The advanced technology in smart keys has revolutionized the way we use car keys. Unlike traditional keys with metal blades, smart keys use advanced wireless proximity systems that allow drivers to keep their key fobs pocketed while unlocking, locking, and starting their vehicles. Because smart keys are only available from dealerships, they're also the most difficult and expensive to replace.
The Car Keys Express Universal Smart Key is the world's most advanced car key, combining hundreds of OEM smart keys into a single retail-friendly device. Designed for value and reliability, it costs up to 70% less than dealership prices and is backed by an industry-leading, three-year, better-than-OEM guarantee. The Universal Smart Key is compatible with more than 500 vehicle models from 15 top makes including Honda, Chevrolet, Ford, Nissan, Jeep, GMC, Dodge, Ram, Cadillac, Infiniti, Buick, Chrysler, Acura, Lincoln, and Fiat. Now, more than 60 million North American drivers have an affordable, high-quality alternative to costly dealership replacements.
Car Keys Express has eliminated the barriers preventing resellers from offering the latest key technology. The Universal Smart Key delivers maximum vehicle coverage, fast product turns, and high margins. Now, any reseller can enter the multibillion-dollar key replacement business and offer high-value modern car keys for hundreds of vehicle models using a single SKU.
Features
- Replaces OEM smart keys for over 500 vehicle models from 15 makes including: Honda, Chevrolet, Ford, Nissan, Jeep, GMC, Dodge, Ram, Cadillac, Infiniti, Buick, Chrysler, Acura, Lincoln, and Fiat
- Compatible with all standard pairing equipment
- High margins for retailers while offering significant savings and customer value
- Designed and assembled in the United States
- Patented universal technology
- Three-year "better-than-OEM" warranty
- FCC certified
Car Keys Express is the global leader in universal key technology, having introduced the world's first Universal Car Remote, the world's first Universal Car Keys, and now the world's first Universal Smart Key. Now all forms of key technology over the past 40 years are universal.
Together with the world's first Universal EZ Installer, the new Universal Smart Key paves the way for retailers and locksmiths to regain their former status as the go-to destination for automotive key replacement.
"Our new Universal Smart Key allows retailers and other businesses to carry one SKU and cover hundreds of vehicle models while offering significant value and savings to their customers," said Kirk Stewart, Chief Commercial Officer for Car Keys Express. "The keys are equal to or better than OEM in terms of quality and can be paired with any standard pairing device. In the past, consumers had to go to the dealership for keys, especially for newer vehicles. Only Car Keys Express offers key replacement solutions that are tailor-made for retail. What once was a complicated, SKU-intensive program is now dramatically simplified."
"After more than a decade of investment into universal products, Car Keys Express is no longer just a key replacement company. We've become a technology-driven company," said Mark Lanwehr, Founder and CEO of Car Keys Express. "Our Universal Smart Key strategy allows for many keys of varying vehicle makes and models to be combined into a single universal key. More than any product we've introduced to date, the Universal Smart Key embodies our company's mission to make replacing car keys simple and affordable again. There's much more to come, as we continue to invest in disruptive technologies that challenge the unchecked 30-year monopoly."
Now in its 20th year, Car Keys Express is disrupting the automotive key replacement industry, developing tools and keys that let resellers easily re-enter the high-margin car key business.

Keys NOW! Automated Key Machine
Keys NOW! Automated Key Machines are now available with consumer-DIY EZ Installers for pairing.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 18, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Car Keys Express, the U.S.-based global leader in automotive key replacement, introduces new Keys NOW! Automated Key MachinesTM configured to the needs of hardware retailers. Hardware stores in New England were the first to receive new units.
For more than 70 years, the hardware channel was the go-to destination for car key replacement. Early transponder keys could be duplicated cheaply and easily at every local hardware store.
But newer car keys must be paired with customers' vehicles and cannot be cloned. This requirement alone has deterred many hardware retailers from offering modern car keys. Those that do have struggled with difficult-to-use key machines and complicated programming equipment.
Car Keys Express eliminates the barriers preventing hardware retailers from succeeding in modern car keys. The new Keys NOW! machines combine hands-free, automated key duplication with easy app-based key pairing consumers can complete on their own.
Keys NOW! is the world's first and only fully-automated house and car key duplication machine. It's as easy to use as a microwave oven. Open the door, insert the key, then stand back. A precisely duplicated key is produced instantly. With traditional manual key-cutting machines, store employees fear making expensive miscuts, so they often avoid customers altogether. Keys NOW! machines eliminate human error, duplicating at near 100% accuracy, so anyone can cut keys accurately, safely, and instantly.
Because the machine does all of the cutting, key duplication requires 50% less associate time than legacy machines. The machines keep key inventory secure, eliminating most shrink. And unlike other key systems, consumers can engage with Keys NOW! to make product selections and confirm pricing on their own before a store associate completes their order. With new hardware configurations, consumers—not retailers—use a Universal EZ Installer to easily pair new car keys or remotes on their own using an app on their phone. That means retailers can stop sending their employees to the parking lot to work on customers' cars.
With Keys NOW! coverage topping 220 million vehicles, hardware retailers can finally stop directing customers to dealerships for keys. Now customers can instantly replace car keys without the time, expense, and hassle of a dealership service appointment.
"Hardware retailers turn away millions of customers simply because their key programs are out of date, expensive, and overly complicated," said Kirk Stewart, Chief Commercial Officer for Car Keys Express. "To succeed with modern keys, retailers must address complex inventory requirements, upgrade cutting equipment for new high-security keyblades, and spend the time to train employees on cutting and pairing equipment. We solved all of those issues with Keys NOW!"
"Entering the hardware segment with our Keys NOW! machines and EZ Installers is a milestone event," said Mark Lanwehr, Founder and CEO of Car Keys Express. "Our company mission from the beginning has been to make car keys simple and affordable again. By nature, this is disruptive to a multi-billion dollar OEM and dealership business model where consumer pricing is unchecked, leading to astronomical prices for car keys. Car Keys Express has leveraged technology to reduce prices for consumers and simplify key replacement for retailers, allowing them to again enter this profitable space and in the process solidifying Car Keys Express as the innovator in the key replacement category."
Now in its 20th year, Car Keys Express is disrupting the automotive key replacement industry, developing tools and keys that let retailers easily re-enter the high-margin car key business.
Be the first retailer in your market to offer car keys made "on the spot" with these fully-automated, easy-to-use solutions.
