Keys with transponders There are a myriad of different car keys available on the market. Selecting the best one is based on your requirements and preferences. Some are simpler to use while others offer greater security. Keys with transponders are a good option for those looking for extra protection against theft. These keys contain an electronic chip that sends signals to the computer of your car when the key is placed in. The signals are analyzed by the computer in your car to verify that the key is legitimate and authorized. This helps stop car thieves from stealing by stopping them from starting the vehicle without the correct key. Transponder chips, a recent technology, are usually installed into the key head of your car. They are designed to allow the transmission of the unique serial number each time they are inserted into your ignition. This information is later read by the transponder reader of the car, which is connected to the ignition. If the information matches the car's transponder reader, it will start. This method is more secure than mechanical keys since it prevents hot wiring. It's not 100% secure. Thieves have developed ways to get around this security feature. When programming a key comes to replacing transponder keys, many people believe that they need to go to their car dealer for the most efficient service. While this may be the case in certain situations but there are locksmiths who can offer a duplicate transponder key for only a fraction of the cost of the car dealership. These professionals have the same equipment as dealerships and can provide you with a functional replacement key for a much lower price. There is a specific kind of car key called the Fobik remote key, that has an embedded transponder. These keys are usually used in Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge vehicles. However, they can also be found in Mercedes and Infiniti cars. These types of keys are more difficult to duplicate than normal keys and require a higher-level of programming. The development of transponder key technology has brought great benefits to car makers. However, it has not eliminated the theft of cars. This is because thieves have found a way to steal cars by using this technology. Transponder keys are still the most effective method to prevent car theft. To avoid losing your car key, you should keep it somewhere safe. It is also recommended to keep a spare key in case of a need. If your key is stolen or lost, you need to call a professional locksmith as soon as possible to get it replaced. You'll avoid unnecessary expenses and stress.

Keys with transponder chip If your car was built in the recent 20 years or so it is likely to have a key with a transponder chip inside of it. These keys, often called chip keys or ignition key can help stop car thefts by making it harder for thieves to wire your vehicle. They are also used in garage door openers as well as home alarm systems. Transponder chips (pictured below) are tiny microchips embedded in the head portion of your car keys that transmit a signal to the computer in your vehicle when the key is used to turn the ignition on and start the motor. The signal is sent through an antenna ring around the ignition cylinder, and must be received by your car in order for it to be able to start. If your car is not capable of reading the signal from your key, it will shut down – this is referred to as the immobilizer system. Car theft was a huge issue in the past before this technology became widely used. Hot-wiring is a simple technique that thieves employ to take your car. By simply putting wires around the ignition barrel, they could trick the car's computer into believing that the correct key was used, allowing the vehicle to begin. This new technology has allowed to reduce hot-wiring and as a consequence car thefts have decreased dramatically. GM was the first US manufacturer to use this technology in their 1985 Corvette. Since since then all major automakers have incorporated the technology into their vehicles. Most people are familiar with how a transponder key appears. They look like a metal key with an upper made of plastic. The plastic top is where the chip is located and is referred to as”chip-key “chip-key”. These keys can be cut in various styles, such as the standard laser cut (also known as sidewinder) or a tibbe style key found on some Jaguars and Fords. Most transponder keys require specialized equipment to be programmed for your specific vehicle. However, some models of keys such as GM and Ford can be programmed at home with the owner's manual and an existing working key. Certain keys with chip technology have a microchip that doesn't require batteries. Others do and require recharging the battery periodically.
