Transponder Chip Keys

If your car was constructed in the last 20 years, it is likely to have a transponder embedded into its head made of plastic. It might look like a small computer, but it is an important component of your car's security as it prevents thieves from opening the car.

The method of operation is simple - when you insert your key into the ignition and switch it to the on position, the antenna ring sends out a flash of energy through radio frequency. The microchip inside your key will respond to a unique number of codes that the immobilizer in your car can read. The immobilizer will allow the engine to begin only when the appropriate key is used.

Aside from a few select car models that don't use them, the majority of modern cars come with them. They are more secure than old-fashioned metal keys because they thwart an experienced and determined car thief from using a hotwire or any other method to start the vehicle.

It doesn't matter if the transponder key is a blade-style that needs to be inserted into the ignition cylinder or a remote-controlled key that you keep in your pocket. A professional locksmith must clone it with special equipment for it to work properly. Many car dealerships provide this service, but it is generally a better deal with an independent locksmith in the automotive industry.

Remote Fob Keys

Your car's key fob (or RKE device, remote keyless entry, or a plastic device that unlocks your door) might appear to be a dull little piece of technology, but it has more than one, mundane use. Fobs can roll down windows, summon your car, and even park it in difficult spots (if the vehicle has this feature, as offered by a few BMWs).

The latest fobs are designed to withstand a lot of abuse, and have a "Panic" button that can be used to make loud sounds and scare away individuals who might be attempting to steal the car.

Certain auto insurance policies, extended warranties, and club memberships will pay for the purchase of a new key or fob.

You can typically purchase the new key fob from a dealer. It's generally cheaper to purchase it from the parts department rather than the service department. Dealers will not program a second-hand key fob for your vehicle unless you can provide proof of ownership and registration. You can get a working fob programmed by the locksmith. However, websites that advertise the service require that you have a key code stamped on a metal plaque that is attached to the fob and kept in a safe place (like your glovebox). Use a small screwdriver and the key code from your owner's guide or at the dealer to pry the fob's case open.

Keyless Entry Keys

Keyless entry is an excellent convenience and is standard in a majority of new vehicles. The car key fob comes with buttons to lock and unlock the car, as well as open the trunk or roll down windows. Other security features can be added, such as an alarm system that blocks the vehicle from being initiated by anyone other than the owner. If you're concerned about theft, putting in an electronic tracking device to your vehicle will help to keep thieves away.

Keyless entry is a useful alternative, but it could also fail, as with any other item of equipment or accessory. The battery could die, the key fob can get lost, or it may be damaged if you drop it on a hard surface. These issues can be difficult to fix because the key fob has electronic components instead of metal.
