Transponder Chip Keys
If your car was manufactured in the last 20 years or so, then it is likely to have a transponder chip built into its key head made of plastic. While it may seem like an insignificant piece of hardware however, it is an important component of the car's security system since it stops theft by stopping people from starting your vehicle.
The method of operation is simple - when you insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the on position the antenna ring sends out a flash of energy through radio frequency. The microchip inside your key will respond to it by generating a unique code the immobilizer on your car can read and identify. The immobilizer will allow the engine to start when the correct key is used.
Apart from a few automobile models, the majority of modern cars utilize them. They are more secure than the traditional keys made of steel because they prevent 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 ignition cylinder, or one that is kept in your pocket with a remote fob it must be cloned by a qualified locksmith with special equipment before it is functional. Many car dealerships provide this service, but it is generally more value with an independent locksmith.
Remote Fob Keys
Your car's key fob (or RKE device, remote keyless entry, or plastic thingamajig that unlocks your door) may seem like an uninteresting piece of technology, but it actually has more than one boring use. Fobs can open windows or summon your car and even park it in tight spots (if the vehicle is equipped with this feature, as offered by some BMWs).
The latest fobs have been designed to withstand a lot of abuse, and have a "Panic" button that can be pressed to produce loud noises and scare away suspicious people who may be trying to steal the car. You can also use it to send GPS coordinates or call emergency services. We recommend purchasing a spare key or fob if you don't have one already. Certain auto insurance policies, extended warranties, and club memberships will cover the cost of the purchase of a new key or fob.
The majority of the time you can get an entirely new fob from an authorized dealer, and it's often cheaper to get it through the parts department than the service department. However, every dealer we surveyed said they won't program an aftermarket fob to work with your car without the proof of ownership and registration. You can, however, get a second, working fob programmed by a locksmith, but websites that promote this service require a key code that is engraved on a metal piece that is attached to the fob case and kept in a secure area (like your glove box). Use a small screwdriver and the code in the owner's manual or at the dealer to pry the fob case open.
Keyless Entry Keys
Many new cars come with keyless entry as an option. The car key fob usually has buttons for locking and unlocking, as well as opening the trunk or rolling down windows. There are other security features such as a security lock to stop the car from starting without the owner present. If you're worried about theft, adding the ability to track your vehicle will help to discourage thieves too.
While keyless entry is a useful feature, there are issues that could happen with it, just as any other car accessory or piece of machinery. The battery could die and the key fob could get lost, or it could be damaged when you drop it on the floor. These problems aren't easy to fix because the key fob is composed of electronic components and not metal components.
