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)
