2023 Genesis Gv80
All Keys Lost - No Tow Needed in Santa Barbara County

2023 Genesis Gv80 Smart key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

If you're reading this because you have zero keys for your 2023 Genesis Gv80 and need help right now, here's what to do. First, find your VIN. It's a 17-character code on the bottom left of your windshield on the driver's side, also on your registration and insurance card. Second, have your ID ready because I need to verify ownership before making any key. Third, know where the car is and whether you can stay with it. Then call me.

A late-working CPA called from a darkened office campus lot in Santa Barbara at 10pm. He was pretty panicked. His only fob to his Gv80 was gone and he had no idea where. He didn't have his registration handy, wasn't sure what a VIN looked like, and was about to call a tow just to get the Genesis somewhere safe overnight.

I walked him through it on the phone. I told him to look at the base of the windshield on the driver's side, and he found the VIN. I told him to check his insurance app for the registration, and he had it. With the VIN, I already knew his fob type and could prep the right blank and chips before arriving. I used my VVDI Key Tool to generate a fresh transponder matched to his immobilizer module. His fob, FCC ID TQ8-FOB-4F35, was a 7-button smart key that I built and programmed under the campus parking lights. He calmed down a lot once I told him I was on my way with everything I needed.

He drove home that night. Total was 265. The dealer would have charged 450 plus a tow, and they were closed anyway. The VIN is the single most useful piece of information you can give me. Text it before I arrive and the job goes faster.
