TrueCode Online inventor Chris Halkyard joins 3D Group

We are thrilled to share that Chris Halkyard, the inventor and developer of the well-known programming tool TrueCode Online, has joined our team as an automotive software engineer. This marks an exciting new journey for both businesses.

So, what is TrueCode Online?

TrueCode Online was developed with a simple goal: to make key programming easier, more reliable, and more accessible to automotive locksmiths. Chris aimed to create a user-friendly solution that many could easily adopt. Twelve years later, the brand has become a trusted and go-to solution, helping automotive locksmiths to complete jobs with confidence.

TrueCode Online is a simple, user-friendly key programming platform built right here in the UK. It works on any Windows 10 or later device and supports a wide range of makes and models. Features include reading pin codes and handling key programming with ease. This platform is also easy for beginners to pick up or those just moving into automotive work from general locksmithing.

Here’s what you need to get started:

  • A laptop or tablet running on Windows 10 or later (not supplied)
  • TrueCode Online hardware cable
  • 12-month subscription with unlimited use and free updates.
  • Additional adapters available for non-standardised connections (T4 adapter for Peugeot and Citroen, T7 adapters for Hyundai and Kia)

Longstanding collaboration turned partnership

As 3D Group and TrueCode Online join forces, we are excited about the future. Here’s what the CEO of 3D Group and Chris himself had to say about the collaboration:

Chris Halkyard, sole developer and inventor of TrueCode Online, had this to say:

“I am thrilled to join the talented team at 3D Group. As the Software Engineer behind the TrueCode Online key programming device, I am eager to advance key programming solutions through our collaboration. This exciting new chapter enables me to work alongside a dynamic team, including some colleagues I’ve known for twenty years, to enhance the development and future of TrueCode Online and to contribute to other groundbreaking projects. By joining 3D Group, I can further dedicate my efforts to automotive software development, leveraging my experience in hardware and software solutions to drive innovation and ensure that our products continue to set industry standards.”
