Transponder Chip Keys

If your vehicle was built in the last 20 years or so, then it is likely to have a transponder chip built into its plastic key head. It might appear like a small computer, however, it is a vital part of your car's security because it stops thieves from opening the car.

The way it works is quite simple. When you insert your key into the ignition and switch it to the on position the antenna ring will send out a blast of energy via radio frequency. The microchip inside your key will respond to a unique number of codes that the immobilizer in your car can read. The immobilizer will only permit the car to start if the right key is used.

Apart from a handful of automobile models that do not use these keys, the majority of modern cars have them. They are safer than the old-fashioned keys made of metal, because they prevent a skilled and determined car thief from using the use of a hot wire or some other method to start the vehicle.

Regardless of whether your transponder chip key is a blade type that must be inserted in the cylinder of ignition, or one that you keep in your pocket via the remote fob the key must be cloned by a qualified locksmith using specialized equipment before it can function properly. You can find this service at many car dealerships, however, an independent locksmith will usually offer an affordable price.

Remote Fob Keys

Your car's key fob (or RKE device, remote keyless entry, or a plastic device that opens your door) could appear to be an uninteresting piece of technology, but it has more than one mundane use. Fobs can shut down windows and summon your car and even park it in places that are difficult to park (if the vehicle has that feature, which is offered by a few BMWs).

The latest fobs are designed to withstand a lot of abuse, and have a "Panic" button that can be used to make loud noises and scare away suspicious people who might be trying to steal the vehicle. It is also possible to send GPS coordinates or to call emergency services. We recommend you purchase an additional fob or key if you don't already. Certain auto insurance policies, extended warranties and club memberships will cover the cost of a new key or fob.

In most cases you can get a new fob from a dealer and it's usually cheaper to purchase it through the parts department than through the service department. However every dealer we surveyed said they won't program an aftermarket fob to work with your car without evidence of ownership and registration. You can get a working fob programmed at the locksmith. However, websites that advertise the service require that you have a key code engraved on a metal plaque that is attached to the fob, and then stored in a secure place (like your glovebox). Make use of a small screwdriver and the key code from your owner's guide or at the dealership to open the fob's case open.

Keyless Entry Keys

Keyless entry is a wonderful convenience and is a standard feature in a majority of new vehicles. The car key fob typically includes buttons for locking and unlocking and opening the trunk and rolling down windows. Other security features can be added for example, a security feature that can prevent the vehicle from being started by anyone other that the owner. If you're worried about theft, putting in the ability to track your car can help deter thieves as well.

Keyless entry is an excellent option, but it can also fail, just like any other item of equipment or accessory. The battery could die, the key fob can be lost, or could be damaged if you drop it on a hard surface. These problems aren't easy to fix since the key fob is made of electronic components, not metal components.

While this feature can reduce the possibility of theft of your vehicle however it can make life difficult if your ignition cylinder isn't operating properly.

If your car is having trouble getting started, or you're forced to shake the key too much before it engages, this can indicate that there is a problem with your ignition cylinder. It's best to replace it in the event of this.

To remove the old cylinder you'll need to remove the steering wheel and take off the plastic cover that protects it. The process may differ from vehicle to vehicle however, most of the time you'll need a screwdriver to depress an retaining tab, and then simply remove the cylinder.
