We make and program Lincoln keys at your car in Las Vegas, 24/7. Lincoln relies on Ford security systems, so we can cut and program most Lincoln keys and fobs on site, from a 1990s Continental to a current Nautilus.

Which Lincoln Key Do You Have?

Lincolns received transponder keys earlier than many brands, beginning in the late 1990s on most models. Remote head keys came next, followed by proximity fobs with push to start, which most current Lincolns use.

Transponder chip keyOlder Lincolns use a key with a thick head and a security chip inside, usually paired with a separate remote. If the chip is not programmed, the engine will not stay running, so we cut and program it at the vehicle.
Remote head keyThe lock, unlock and trunk buttons are built into the key head, and some Lincolns from the 2000s and early 2010s use this design. We program both the security chip and the remote buttons.
Smart key with push to startMost current Lincolns use a proximity fob, which holds a hidden metal blade for the driver door. We program a replacement fob to the vehicle on site.
Plain cut keyOnly older Lincolns built before the late 1990s use this key, which has no chip and no buttons. We cut it from the factory code or by decoding the lock.

Lincoln Models and Their Keys

Lincoln Navigator

The Navigator has used a transponder key since it debuted in the late 1990s, with a separate remote on early trucks. Later Navigators moved to remote head keys, and newer ones use a proximity key with push to start on most trims.

Lincoln Corsair

The Corsair arrived for 2020 and uses a proximity smart key with push to start. We program a new fob at the vehicle and cut its hidden emergency blade for the driver door.

Lincoln Nautilus

The Nautilus, which replaced the MKX for 2019, uses a proximity smart key with push to start, and we program a replacement fob to the vehicle on site.

Lincoln Aviator

The first Aviator, sold in the early 2000s, uses a transponder key with a separate remote. The Aviator returned for 2020 with a proximity key and push to start, and although some can also use a phone as a key, we make the physical fob.

Lincoln MKZ

The early MKZ, and the Zephyr before it, use a transponder key with a separate remote. Later MKZs moved to a proximity key with push to start on most trims, and the model ended around 2020.

Lincoln Continental

Older Continentals that ran into the early 2000s use a cut key, with a security chip on the later years. The Continental returned from 2017 to 2020 with a proximity key and push to start, so tell us which era you have when you call.

Lincoln MKC

The MKC, sold from around 2015 to 2019, uses a proximity smart key with push to start on most trims. We program a new fob at the vehicle and cut the emergency blade.

What a Lincoln Key Costs in Las Vegas

A Lincoln transponder key with programming typically runs $150 to $350 in Las Vegas, and Lincoln proximity fobs usually cost more than that. A plain key for an older Lincoln is usually $50 to $180, and you should plan on $25 to $75 extra for a night, weekend or holiday call.

The key type matters most, followed by whether we are copying a working key or starting with none, and our Las Vegas price guide walks through how the total comes together.

Make a Spare Before You Need One

Lincoln proximity fobs cost more than plain keys, which is a good reason to add a spare before you need one. Programming a fob while another still works is quicker and less expensive than an all keys lost call, and our car keys page has the details.

Owning a Lincoln in Las Vegas

Lincolns in Las Vegas frequently pull into valet stands, hotel garages and casino parking structures, where fobs get mixed up or left behind. If your Lincoln has a door keypad, memorize the code so you can get inside if the fob goes missing, and since a fob left on a hot dashboard can drain quickly in summer, keep it in the shade or in your pocket.
