Simply Keys - you simply can't miss it! This weekend!

Hickleys Simply Keys Auto Locksmithing show returns this weekend at the GTG Centre in Wolverhampton. The show will be full of great money-saving deals and demos of the latest remote programming capabilities.

Headline demos at the show include latest PSA, Volvo & Fiat Ducato key programming (on vehicle) plus bench demos of Volvo 2019+ and Fiat Ducato direct into BCM. Also, there will be news of VW 5C programming coming soon. Advanced Diagnostics will be on hand with first to market key programming on BYD vehicles as well as demos on the latest MG models. Hickleys will also be demoing a new solution for adding keys to G30 BMWs and Transit Customs. This solution is budget friendly, quick and simple. Even better, it requires no tokens or subscriptions.

For the first time the ZedFULL Plus programmer will be available for under £1000 and last years “trade in any old key programmer for a Smart Pro” returns to save a bundle on the market leading programmer. The usual show exclusive deals will be available on the tokens, credits and subscription plans required to run the flagship remote programming units.

The show takes place at the GTG Training Centre, Wolverhampton, WV11 3SZ on Saturday 22nd August (2026) from 10am – 4pm and Sunday 23rd August (2026) from 10am until 3pm.
