Transponder Chip Keys

If your car was manufactured in the in the last 20 years or so, there is probably a transponder chip built into its key head made of plastic. It might look like a small motherboard, but it's an essential part of your car's security since it deters thieves from opening the car.

It works by sending out a radio frequency pulse when you insert your key into the ignition. The microchip in the key will respond to it with a unique code that the car's immobilizer will be able to identify and read. The immobilizer then allows the engine to start when the proper key is used.

Except for a handful of car models, all modern cars use these keys. They are much more secure than older keys made of metal because they can stop a skilled and determined car burglar from using an electric wire or another method to start the car.

It doesn't matter whether your transponder key is a blade type that must be inserted into the cylinder for ignition, or a remote-controlled fob you keep in your pocket. A professional locksmith is required to duplicate it using specialized equipment for it to function correctly. This service is available at a variety of car dealerships, however, an independent locksmith typically has an affordable price.

Remote Fob Keys

The key fob in your car (also known as RKE, remote keyless access, or the plastic thingamajig to unlock your door) might appear to be an tiny piece of tech. But it's got many other uses. Fobs are able to roll down windows or summon your car and even park it for you in difficult spots (if the vehicle is equipped with this feature, as offered by a few BMWs).

The new fobs have a panic button which can be used to make loud sounds to dissuade suspicious people who might be trying to steal your vehicle. You can also press it to call emergency services or to send GPS coordinates to the dispatch center. We suggest that you purchase a spare key or fob if you don't own one already.

Most of the time you can buy a new fob from dealers, and it's often cheaper to get it through the parts department than through the service department. However every dealer we surveyed said they would not program an aftermarket fob to work with your vehicle without evidence of ownership and registration. Fortunately, you can find a working fob programmed by a locksmith. However, websites advertising this service require a key code that is engraved on a metal piece that is attached to the fob case and kept in a safe place (like your glove box). Use a small screwdriver and the code in your owner's guide or at the dealership to pry the fob case open.

Keyless Entry Keys

Keyless entry is a fantastic convenience and is standard on many new cars. The key fob of the car usually comes with buttons for locking and unlocking, as well as opening the trunk or rolling down windows. There are other security features, like an alarm lock to stop the car from starting without the owner present. If you're worried about theft, adding an alarm system to your vehicle can deter thieves as well.

While keyless entry is an excellent feature, there are a few issues that could happen in it just like other car accessory or piece of machinery. The key fob could be lost, the battery could die or it could be damaged if dropped on hard surfaces. These issues are difficult to resolve because the key fob is made up of electronic components instead of metal.
