Keys stolen or lost

Modern key fobs, in contrast to traditional car keys, have a transponder chip that communicates with the immobilizer of the car to permit remote locking and engine start. These chips are encrypted and only work for specific car models year, make, and year. These keys cannot be used with other vehicles because they each have a unique code that only works with the immobilizer that is related to it.
This is why it's crucial to have a spare key in case you lose your original. A spare key will not only ease the burden of losing the original set but will also ensure that you are always able to move around in the event of a need.
