Transponder Chip Keys

If your vehicle was built in the last 20 years or so, then it likely has the transponder chip that is built into the plastic key head. Although it appears to be an insignificant motherboard however, it's a vitally important part of the car's security system, as it helps prevent theft by preventing thieves from starting your vehicle.

It works by sending out a radio frequency signal when you insert your key into the ignition. The microchip in your key will react to it with a unique code the immobilizer in your car can detect and recognize. The immobilizer can only allow the car to start if the right key has been used.

Aside from a few select car models that don't use them, the vast majority of modern cars have them. They are more secure than the old-fashioned metal keys because they deter a determined and skilled car burglar from using a hotwire or another method to start the vehicle.

It doesn't matter if your transponder key is a blade design that needs to be inserted in the ignition cylinder, or a remote-controlled device that you carry around in your pocket. A locksmith who is certified will have to copy it using specialized equipment to allow it to work properly. There are many car dealerships that offer this service, but it is generally more value with an independent locksmith for your vehicle.

Remote Fob Keys

Your car's key fob (or RKE device, remote keyless entry, or a plastic device that opens your door) may seem like an insignificant piece of technology, but it's got more than one, dull use. Fobs are able to open the windows, summon your vehicle and even park it in tight spots (if you own a vehicle equipped with this feature).

The newest fobs are designed to withstand the rigors of use, and include a "Panic" button that can be used to make loud sounds and scare away people who might be trying to steal the car.

You can usually purchase an original key fob from an authorized dealer. It's typically cheaper to purchase it from the parts department, rather than the service department. However all the dealers we spoke to said they will not program an aftermarket fob to work with your car without identification of ownership and registration. You could get a second working fob programmed through a locksmith. However, online websites that advertise the service require that you have a key code stamped on a plaque made of metal that is attached to the fob. It must be stored in a secure location (like your glovebox). Find the key code in your owner's manual, or the dealer's manual, and use a small screwdriver open the fob's case.

Keyless Entry Keys

Keyless entry is an excellent option and is included on many new vehicles. The key fob of the car usually has buttons for locking or unlocking as well as opening the trunk or rolling down windows. Other security features can be added, such as a security feature that can prevent the vehicle from being operated by anyone other than the owner. A tracking device could aid in deterring thieves when you are worried about theft.

Keyless entry is a practical alternative, but it could also fail, just like any other piece of equipment or car accessory. The key fob could get lost, the battery could die, or it might be damaged if it is dropped on the hard surface. These problems are difficult to fix because the key fob is made of electronic components instead of metal components.
