Key types by year, side by side
Both vehicles changed key technology over their runs, so the right blank, chip, and programmer depend entirely on your model year. Here is what each one uses:
Bentley Bentayga
HU162T emergency blade, Megamos AES (VAG MLB). PIN/dealer coordination common on lost-all-keys.
Bentley Continental GT
HU66 blade, Megamos crypto chip; shares VAG immobilizer architecture.
HU162T (MQB) emergency blade, Megamos AES. Dealer or advanced tool for add-key.
Which is simpler or quicker to key?
Both the Bentley Bentayga and the Bentley Continental GT have year ranges where a lost-all-keys job can require a manufacturer PIN or dealer coordination, so keeping at least one working key on either is the simplest insurance against a stranded day. With a working key, either one has a spare programmed on-site; we confirm the exact path by VIN before dispatching.
The quirk that trips people up on each
- Keyless Go module dependency. Bentayga all-keys-lost leans on PIN/online coordination; attempting it with generic tooling risks locking the immobilizer into a protective state.
- Dealer-coordinated all-keys-lost. Continental GT all-keys-lost typically requires PIN/component-protection release; an add-key with a working fob is far simpler.
How a key job runs on either one
The path works the same way on both. The simplest job on either vehicle is a planned spare made while you still have a working key, because that key acts as the authentication seed and the work is short. A lost-all-keys situation takes more steps on either one, since the programmer has to read the immobilizer PIN before it can enroll a new key. We confirm the exact part by VIN before we dispatch, so the right blank, chip, and programmer are on the truck when we arrive.

Frequently asked: Bentley Bentayga vs Bentley Continental GT keys
Is the Bentley Bentayga or the Bentley Continental GT simpler to make a key for?
They are comparable. A spare made from a working key is the simplest path on either vehicle; a lost-all-keys situation takes more steps because we read the immobilizer PIN first. We confirm the exact path by VIN before dispatching.
Can you make a key for both on-site in Statesboro?
Yes. Both the Bentley Bentayga and the Bentley Continental GT are handled by our mobile unit at your location for the large majority of year ranges. Any exception that needs dealer coordination is flagged on the phone when we confirm your VIN, so the work is set up correctly before we arrive.
Do I need the original key to get a replacement?
No. With a working key we make a spare in a single visit because the original acts as the authentication seed. With no key at all, we read the immobilizer PIN and build a key from your VIN. Both vehicles support both paths.
