Transponder Chip Keys

If your car was made in the past 20 years or so, it is likely to have a transponder chip built into its key head made of plastic. Although it appears to be an insignificant component, it is a very important part of the car's security system as it prevents theft by preventing criminals from starting your car.

It works by sending out a radio frequency burst when you insert your key into the ignition. The microchip in your key will respond to a unique number of codes that the immobilizer in your car can read. The immobilizer can then allow the engine to begin only when the proper key is used.

Except for a few automobile models that do not use these keys, the majority of modern vehicles have them. They are more secure than the traditional keys made of steel because they stop the determined and skilled car thief using a hotwire or some other method to open the vehicle.

You can get a second working fob programmed through the locksmith. However, websites that advertise the service ask that you have a key code stamped on a plaque made of metal that is attached to the fob, and then stored in a safe place (like your glovebox). Make use of a small screwdriver along with the key code found in your owner's guide or at the dealership to open the fob's case open.

Keyless Entry Keys

Keyless entry is a great option and is included on many new cars. The key fob of the car usually has buttons for locking and unlocking and opening the trunk or rolling down windows. There are other security features, like a security lock to prevent the car from being started without the owner present. If you're worried about theft, putting in a tracking device to your car can help discourage thieves too.

If it isn't it, the engine won't start and your vehicle will be locked. This feature can be useful in reducing the possibility of theft, but it could be a problem if the ignition isn't working properly.
