Transponder Chip Keys
If your car was manufactured in the last 20 years you are likely to include a transponder in its head made of plastic. Although it might appear to be an insignificant motherboard but it's an essential component of your vehicle's security system as it prevents theft by preventing thieves from starting your car.
The method of operation is quite simple. When you insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the on position, the antenna ring sends out a burst of energy via radio frequency. The microchip inside your key will react to it by generating a unique code the immobilizer in your car can recognize and read. The immobilizer then allows the engine to begin only when the appropriate key is used.
Except for a few automobile models that do not use them, the vast majority of modern cars have them. They are more secure than old-fashioned metal keys because they stop the skilled and determined car thief using a hotwire or another method to start the vehicle.
No matter if your transponder chip key is a traditional blade style that has to be inserted into the cylinder of ignition, or one that is kept in your pocket using the remote fob it must be cloned by a qualified locksmith who has the right equipment so that it is able to function properly. There are many car dealerships that offer this service, however you will usually get a better deal with an independent automotive locksmith.
Remote Fob Keys
The key fob in your car (or RKE device, remote keyless entry, or the plastic thing that opens your doors) could appear to be an uninteresting little piece of technology, but it actually has more than one boring use. Fobs can open your windows, call your vehicle and even park it in tight spaces (if you have a vehicle with that feature).
The new fobs have an alarm button that can be used to make loud sounds to dissuade suspicious people who might be trying to steal your vehicle. It is also possible to send GPS coordinates or call emergency services. We recommend purchasing an additional fob or key if you don't already. Certain auto-insurance policies or extended warranty coverage and club memberships will cover the cost of replacing a fob or key.
Most of the time you can buy the new fob through dealers and it's typically cheaper to get it through the parts department than the service department. However all the dealers we spoke to stated that they wouldn't program an aftermarket fob to work with your car without proof of ownership and registration. You can get a second working fob programmed at the locksmith. However, online sites that offer the service require that you have a key code stamped on a plaque made of metal that is attached to the fob and stored in a secure place (like your glovebox). Obtain the key code from your owner's guide or dealer and employ a small screwdriver break open the fob's case.
Keyless Entry Keys
A majority of new cars come with keyless entry as a standard feature. The car key fob features buttons that allow you to lock and unlock the car, and also open the trunk or roll down windows. It can also have other security features like a security lock to stop the car from being started without the owner present. A tracking device may help to deter thieves in the event of theft.
While the keyless entry feature is a great feature, there are things that can go wrong with it, just as any other automobile accessory or piece of machinery. The key fob might get lost, the battery might fail or be damaged if it is dropped on the hard surface. These issues are difficult to solve because the key fob uses electronic components instead of metal parts.
