Transponder Chip Keys

If your car was built in the recent 20 years or so, it likely has an embedded transponder chip in its key head made of plastic. While it might seem like an insignificant motherboard but it's an crucial component of your car's security system because it can prevent theft by preventing people from launching your car.

The way that it works is simple - when you insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the on position, the antenna ring sends out a surge of energy via radio frequency. The microchip inside your key will respond with a unique code that the immobilizer of your car can read. The immobilizer can only allow the car to start when the correct key is used.

Except for a handful of car models, all modern cars use these keys. They are more secure than the old-fashioned keys made of metal since they stop a determined and skilled car burglar from using a hotwire or other method to begin the vehicle.

Regardless of whether your transponder chip key is a traditional blade design that needs to be inserted into the ignition cylinder or one that can be kept in your pocket via the remote fob the key must be copied by a licensed locksmith who has the right equipment so that it is functional. You can find this service at a variety of car dealerships, but an independent automotive locksmith typically has an affordable price.

Remote Fob Keys

The key fob in your car (or RKE device, remote keyless entry, or plastic thing that opens your doors) might appear to be an uninteresting little piece of technology, but it actually has more than one dull use. Fobs can roll down the windows, summon your car and even place it in tight spaces (if you have a vehicle equipped with this feature).

The most recent fobs are made to withstand a lot of abuse, and have a "Panic" button that can be used to make loud noises and scare away people who might be trying to steal the car. It can also be used to send GPS coordinates or call emergency services. We recommend purchasing a spare key or fob if you don't have one already. Some auto insurance policies, extended warranties and club memberships will cover the cost of a new key or fob.

The majority of the time you can buy an entirely new fob from an authorized dealer and it's generally cheaper to purchase it from the parts department rather 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 identification of ownership and registration. However, you can find a working fob that is programmed by a locksmith, but websites that promote this service require a key code that is stamped on a metal plate attached to the fob case and kept in a secure place (like your glove box). Obtain the key code from the owner's manual or from the dealership and employ a small screwdriver unlock the fob's casing.

Keyless Entry Keys

Many new cars come with keyless entry as an option. The key fob of the car usually includes buttons for locking and unlocking, as well as opening the trunk or rolling down windows. Other security features are also available, such as the security feature that stops the car from being initiated by anyone other than the owner. If you're worried about theft, putting a tracking device to your car could help keep thieves away.

While keyless entry is a convenient option, there are things that could go wrong with it, just as any other car accessory or piece of machinery. The key fob might become lost, the battery might fail or be damaged if dropped on a hard surface. These issues are difficult to fix because the key fob is made up of electronic components, not metal components.

The system ensures that your vehicle is running if the right key is used to turn it. The engine won't start when the key isn't properly inserted. Your car will also be locked. This feature can be helpful in reducing the possibility of theft, but it can also be a problem if your ignition isn't working as it should.

This could be an indication of a malfunction in the ignition cylinder. You'll need to replace it If this happens.

To get rid of the old cylinder you'll need to remove the plastic covering on your steering wheel. The procedure may differ from vehicle to vehicle but generally speaking, you'll require a screwdriver to press the tab that holds the cylinder in place and then simply remove the cylinder.

You'll then have to replace the cylinder and then reassemble your steering wheel. It's not a difficult task, but it will require some mechanical know-how. If you're not comfortable with this job it's a good idea to ask a professional to do it for you. They'll have the proper tools and expertise to ensure that the job is completed properly.
