The signal is activated when the key is within reach of the car and is unique to the vehicle. It also contains an electronic chip that has a serial number, which makes it very difficult for thieves to duplicate your car keys or use stolen ones.
These chips are created to be unable to be read by scanners and that's why you'll have to visit a professional locksmith to replace your transponder keys if you lose yours. The process of programming a transponder chip requires specialized tools that the typical locksmith does not have. In certain cases, the chip must be replaced however, this can be more complex and time-consuming than simply making a new key with the regular keyblade.
The advantage of a transponder is that it offers an additional layer of security and can keep your car from being stolen. This is because they are more difficult to copy than regular remote keys, and can only be copied with a scanner that is specialized to work with this type of key. They also work with many vehicles' immobilizers, which makes it difficult for a thief wiring the vehicle to leave.
Keyless Entry Remotes
Many cars come with keyless entry systems that allow the driver to open the vehicle without having to insert a key. Typically, this is done by using a door-mounted keyboard, a key fob (or "keychain remote"), or a wirelessly-enabled handheld computer device that can interact with the car's system. These devices can also be used to lock and unlock the vehicle or turn on the ignition, or turn on the car's lights.
The keyless entry system depends upon the transmitter in the fob communicating with the receiver inside the vehicle using the use of a unique code. As a result, it's important to have your fob updated when you have new keys made or need to replace a battery in the fob you have or lose your key fob.
It is important to be cautious when ordering a replacement key fob online, as certain sellers won't ask you for proof of ownership and may deliver the wrong key, or even an empty shell. You can avoid these issues by getting your key fob reset at a certified automotive locksmith or a dealership.
