Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (which are an amalgamation of the words "transmitter" and "responder") are used to protect against auto theft by transmitting a specific radio signal to the immobilizer of the car when they are inserted into the ignition. This signal is activated once the key is within reach of the vehicle and only works with that particular vehicle. It also has a microchip with a digital serial number, which makes it extremely difficult for thieves to duplicate your car keys or use stolen keys.

The chips cannot be read by scanners, therefore you'll need to call a locksmith to replace your transponder key if you have lost it. The typical locksmith for cars doesn't have the tools required to program the transponder. In certain instances, the chip could also need to be replaced, but this is more time-consuming and complex than making a key with the standard blade.

Transponder keys can be an additional layer of security and protect your vehicle from being taken. They are much more difficult to copy than remote keys, and can only be copied with an electronic scanner designed specifically for this kind of key. They also work with the majority of vehicles' immobilizers, which makes it difficult for thieves wiring the vehicle to escape.

Keyless Entry Remotes

A lot of cars have keyless entry systems, which allow drivers to open their vehicle without having to insert a car key. This is usually accomplished using keys that are mounted on the door, a keychain remote (or "keychain"), or wirelessly enabled handheld computers that interact directly with the car's system. These devices can be used to lock or unlock the car, turn on ignition, and turn on the lighting of the vehicle.

Keyless entry relies on the transmitter within the fob and receiver in the car to exchange an individual code that is unique to each vehicle. It is crucial to have your fob reprogrammed if you require new keys, need to replace the battery in the fob, or you lose your key fob.

It is important to be cautious when ordering a replacement key fob online, as some sellers will not ask you for proof of ownership and could send the wrong key or even a blank shell. You can avoid these problems by having your key fob reprogrammed with a certified auto dealer or locksmith.
