DS Key Services — Stellantis Platform, Premium French Brand
DS Automobiles emerged as a standalone premium brand from Citroën in 2015, positioning itself against Audi, BMW and Mercedes in the premium sector. The DS3 Crossback, DS4 and DS7 Crossback use Stellantis PSA/CMP and EMP2 platform architecture shared with Peugeot 308/3008 and Citroën C4/C5 Aircross. Stellantis OBD equipment covers all DS models using the same platform module — the same equipment that handles a Peugeot 308 or Citroën C5 Aircross covers a DS4 or DS7 without any distinction. No year limits apply on any DS model. Thatcham Research rates DS Automobiles security in their annual vehicle security assessments.
The DS3 Crossback is the most commonly seen DS model in Scotland and the most frequently requested for all-keys-lost and spare key programming. It uses the Stellantis CMP platform with a push-start DS Connected Pilot smart key system. The DS7 Crossback — DS’s flagship SUV — uses the Stellantis EMP2 platform. Both are relay theft targets in Edinburgh (New Town, Morningside, EH3/EH9/EH10) and Glasgow (Bearsden, Milngavie, G61/G62) premium postcodes. The DS9 executive saloon — DS’s most prestigious model competing with Mercedes E-Class and Audi A6 — uses the EMP2 platform and is fully covered.
DS’s E-Tense plug-in hybrid range — DS3 Crossback E-Tense, DS4 E-Tense and DS7 Crossback E-Tense — all use the same Stellantis IMMO as their petrol equivalents. Key programming on any E-Tense model follows the identical Stellantis OBD process. No PHEV complexity, no EV year limit, no additional cost. For older DS models — the DS3 hatchback (pre-Crossback era, built on C3 platform until 2019) and DS5 — these use PSA/Stellantis legacy IMMO equally covered without year restrictions.
Thatcham DS security ratings ↗DS7 Crossback and DS4 with DS Connected Pilot keyless entry are relay theft targets in Edinburgh and Glasgow premium postcodes. Store key fobs in a Faraday bag. A non-keyless spare programmed via Stellantis OBD provides a relay-resistant backup start method.
