Car key/remote is either original, aftermarket or compatible. Original key is controlled and usually quite standard in pricing, if you are quoted a much lower price, chances are it might not be a genuine original key. Aftermarket/compatible key is usually cheaper but only available for some car models. New car less than 5 years old is not advisable to use aftermarket or compatible.
We carry both original and aftermarket replacement. If we describe it as Genuine, we guarantee it to be 100% original.

We always have people who insist we give a rough quote over the phone even though we do not know exactly what they want and usually they do not want to or are not able to provide technical specifications. If you just want a figure without knowing what you are quoted for, we can quote you any price you wish to accept! Make sense?
If you want a serious quotation, please submit the required information through our web enquiry form or head down to our service centre to get a quick check.
Chassis number is required to search the vehicle database. We need to know the exact specification of the key used on your car so that we can quote you the correct price and let you know the options you can take. You can’t pick a remote base on physical look as it might not work for your car and the difference in price could be a lot even if it looks the same.
Chassis number is also known as VIN or FRAME number. You can find it on your car at several locations as well as in your car registration paper known as LTA log card. If you don’t have the paper or car with you, you can also login to LTA website to check. We can also help you to check if you provide us your vehicle number and the last 4 digit of you IC.
Technical Questions
No problem if it is only a mechanical key. For transponder key, it depends on the type of chip. For remote, most system requires the car to be present for programming.
Yes for most models. Please Contact us for the best solution.
We can do that for many systems, check it out at our service centre.
Please bring it to our service centre to test. We are not able to “see” the data or determine the type of system from your picture or over the phone unless it is a known brand/format that we have done before.You can try to submit your enquiry first.
Mechanically we can rekey your locks without changing them, electronically we can erase or reset the system. Please Contact us for the best solution.
It depends on the type of chips used on the remote and the car receiver system. Nowadays many remotes will be locked to the car once it is programmed. You may visit our service centre to have your remote tested or provide your car information for us to check.
If your car comes with factory immobiliser, a transponder key is required. Transponder is a small chip embedded in the plastic head of the key. Many people mistaken transponder key for a normal key as it does not need any battery; it also doesn’t comes with remote control.
Maybe, we have to check the condition, please bring it to our service centre.
It depends on your usage. Generally 2 years for Genuine remote, 1 year for aftermarket remote and a few months for 2-way remote. It is highly recommended to change the battery every 2 years as a precaution as any downtime will certainly cost you more than the battery price.
Knowledge Base
Original means the key/remote/parts are made and supplied by the respective car manufacturers or their distribution partners.
Genuine means original parts made according to the respective car maker’s specifications. It is the best option for newer cars as it is made to fit perfectly to your model matched by chassis number. There are many counterfeit in the market though. If you do not want to end up getting a doubtful one, only get from reputable source like Soxxi Master and ask for a written warranty. Every genuine remote/key has a factory part number, if they do not know, you should decide whether to trust them. Also try to compare the price with the authorised dealership, it is usually slightly cheaper but not a far cry difference. If you are offered a dirt cheap price, you should already know it is doubtful.
Made by the same factory of the genuine parts but sold without brand or in other brands. Although OEM automotive car parts are common, especially general consumables like spark plugs, air filter and tires etc., it is not so for keys as it involves security and intellectual property. Most of the so-called OEM keys in the market are ambiguous. Usually the car makers would not compromise their car security and intellectual property. Exercise your discretion if you are offered a so-called OEM remote/key.
Compatible means it is not made specifically for your car model but is able to work.
Made by other than the car maker’s authorised factory. Aftermarket keys vary significantly in quality and price. Some can be very cheap but usually of doubtful quality; in some cases they might even cause damages to your immobiliser system. Again, you should get from reliable source like Soxxi Master and insist on a written warranty.
They will not be as good or as reliable as the original. We strongly recommend original especially if your car is new.
On close examination, the moulding of the Look-alike is usually quite rough and not as fit as the Genuine. The PCB board of Look-alike is usually also not as clean and neat. Unfortunately, it is really quite difficult for untrained eyes to spot the differences. To protect your own interests, only buy from reputable source and ask for a written warranty.
For car keys, transponder is a tiny device usually embedded in the key head for sending and receiving data between the key and the immobiliser system in the authentication process. It works wirelessly and does not need a battery to work.
Immobiliser is a security system fitted to the car that prevents it from being started unless the correct key (transponder) is present.
An uncut key.
It is the main key of the car. With the Master Key, you can unlock everything – the car doors, the boot/trunk, the glove box and the ignition. For newer cars with an immobiliser system, a Master Key is required if you wish to make a spare key for your car.
A master key is designed to open a set of several locks pinned according to the system. Contrary to popular belief, a master key cannot actually open any lock you desire.That is to say you cannot actually have a master key for your premises unless the locks are specially pinned for it.
The Valet Key does not allow you to open the glove box and the boot/trunk. With this, you can safely keep your valuables in the glove box or trunk when you hand over your car for valet parking.
