Terry’s Locksmiths: Specialized Services for 2003-2007 Daewoo Kalos on the Gold Coast

Celebrating over 50 years of excellence on the Gold Coast, Terry’s Locksmiths has established a reputation for handling a wide array of automotive locksmith challenges. In this blog, we delve into our job history with the 2003-2007 Daewoo Kalos, exploring the intricacies of our services and the common issues associated with this model.

Our Expertise with the Daewoo Kalos

1. Key Programming with T300 and Daewoo Cable

One of our notable projects involved using the T300 with a Daewoo cable to program and precode a key for a 2003 Daewoo Kalos. The T300 is a specialized tool used for key programming, and the Daewoo-specific cable ensures compatibility with the vehicle’s electronic systems. The Daewoo Kalos typically employs an ID48 Immo Chip, which requires precise programming and pre-coding to function correctly. This job highlighted our proficiency in handling such specialized tasks with attention to detail.

2. All Keys Lost Scenario

In another instance, locksmith Lee worked on a 2003 Daewoo Kalos where all keys were lost. Using an aftermarket key supplied by Terry’s Locksmiths, the job involved programming a new key with tools such as Smart Pro and VVDI Key Tool Max. This process required careful handling of the ID48 Immo Chip and involved using the standard Smart Pro cable. The job was complex due to the need to replace all lost keys, emphasizing our ability to manage challenging situations effectively.

Common Issues with the Daewoo Kalos (2003-2007)

Ignition Problems:

Owners of the Daewoo Kalos may experience ignition issues such as a faulty ignition switch or problems with the ignition lock cylinder. These issues can impede the vehicle’s starting process and require professional attention.

Key and Lock Challenges:

The Daewoo Kalos, particularly models from 2003 to 2007, often uses an ID48 Immo Chip.

We have experience dealing with these transponder chips and employ advanced tools like the T300 and Smart Pro to handle key programming tasks efficiently.
