Abstract
The present invention provides a service and supporting technology for backing up and restoring or replacing OEM vehicle keys. The system works by storing a copy of the data from an OEM key along with other information necessary to replace the OEM key in a key bank. The data collected is processed and stored such that a customer can order a universal replacement from the key bank programmed with the stored data to emulate the prior paired OEM key. No further pairing or programming is required by the customer.
