Transponder Keys
Transponder keys are a combination of "transmitter" and "responder" and are used to protect against auto-theft by sending a distinct radio signal to the immobilizer of the car when they are placed in the ignition. The signal is activated when the key is within proximity to the vehicle and only works with that particular vehicle. It also contains microchips that have a digital serial number, making it difficult for thieves to duplicate your keys or to use stolen keys.
The chips can't be read by scanners, which is why you'll have to contact a locksmith to replace your transponder-key if you've lost it. The process of programming a transponder chip requires specialized tools that an average locksmith isn't equipped with. In some instances, the chip might also have to be replaced, but this could be more time-consuming, and a lot more complicated than making a key with a standard blade.
Transponder keys can be an additional layer of security, and also help to prevent your vehicle from being taken. This is because they are more difficult to copy than regular remote keys, and can only be copied with scanners that are specifically designed in working with this kind of key. They also work with most automobiles' immobilizers, making it difficult for a thief hot-wiring the vehicle to steal the vehicle.
Keyless Entry Remotes
A lot of cars have keyless entry systems, which permit drivers to unlock their vehicle without the need to insert an automobile key. This is typically done using a keypad mounted on the door, a keychain remote (or "keychain"), or wirelessly-enabled handheld computing devices that can interact directly with the car's electronic system. These devices can be used to lock or unlock the car, turn on ignition, as well as activate the vehicle's lighting.
The keyless entry system relies on the transmitter inside the fob communicating with the receiver in the vehicle using a unique code. This is why it's important to have your fob programmed if you get new keys made, need to replace a battery in your existing fob, or lose your fob key.
It is important to be cautious when buying a replacement key fob online as some sellers won't ask you for proof of ownership and may send you a wrong key or even an empty shell. You can avoid these issues by getting your key fob programmed at a certified automotive locksmith or dealer.
