Programming Car Keys Today, cars are equipped with smart keys and key fobs that have to be programmed in order to function correctly.

Keys with transponders There are a variety of car keys available on the market. Selecting the best one is based on your requirements and preferences. Some keys are more user-friendly and others provide more security. Keys with transponders are a good choice for people who want extra security against theft. These keys contain a chip that transmits signals to the computer of your car when the key is placed in. These signals are then verified by the car's computer to ensure that the key is legitimate and authorized. This prevents car thieves from starting the vehicle using the wrong key. Transponder chips, a relatively recent technology, are usually built in to the key head of your vehicle. These chips are specifically designed to send a unique digital serial number when the key is inserted into the ignition. This information is then read by the car's transponder reader which is connected to the ignition. If reprogram car key is in line the car's information, it will start. This method is far safer than traditional mechanical keys because it avoids hot-wiring. However, it's not foolproof. The thieves have found ways to bypass this security feature.

While this may be true in certain instances however, there are locksmiths that can provide you with a duplicate transponder key for only a fraction of the cost of a car dealership. They have the same equipment dealerships use and can offer a functioning replacement key at an affordable price. A specific type of key is the Fobik Remote Key, which includes an integrated transponder. These keys are commonly used in Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge vehicles. However, they can be found in Mercedes and Infiniti cars. These kinds of keys are more difficult to duplicate than normal keys and require a higher level of programming. The introduction of transponder keys technology has brought benefits to car manufacturers. However it hasn't completely eliminated the possibility of theft from cars. This is due to thieves having found ways to steal vehicles using the technology. However, transponder keys are still the most effective tool for decreasing the likelihood of car theft. Keep your car keys somewhere secure to ensure that it is not lost. Also, you should keep a spare key in case of an emergency. In the event that your key is lost or stolen, you must call a professional locksmith away to have it replaced. This will relieve you of any unnecessary stress or expense.

Keys with transponder chips If your car was built in the past 20 years, it is nearly certain that it has an ignition key that has a transponder. These keys, commonly referred to as chip keys or ignition key, help prevent car thefts by making it difficult for thieves to hot-wire your vehicle. You can also find these types of keys used for garage door remote openers and home security systems. A transponder chip (pictured below) is a small microchip that is embedded in the head of your car key that sends an electronic signal to your car's computer when it's used to turn on and start the engine. The signal is transmitted through an antenna ring surrounding the ignition cylinder. Your car needs to be able to receive this signal to begin. If your car is not capable of recognizing the signal from your key, it will simply shut down – this is referred to as the immobilizer system. Before this technology was widely used in automobiles car theft was a major problem. Many thieves would use the simple technique of hot-wiring your car. By simply placing an electrical wire around the barrel of your ignition and then tampering with the computer of your car into thinking that a valid key was being used, allowing the vehicle to begin. This new technology was able to eliminate the use of hot-wiring and as a result car thefts decreased significantly. GM was the first US manufacturer to implement this technology in their 1985 Corvette. Since since then, all major auto manufacturers have integrated the technology into their vehicles. A majority of people are aware of how a transponder key appears. They appear like a key made of metal with a top made of plastic. This plastic top is the location of the chip and is known as a “chip-key”. Keys can be cut in a variety of styles, including the standard laser cut (also called sidewinder) or a tibbe style key that is found on Jaguars and Fords. Most transponder key require specialized equipment to be programmed. However, certain key brands, such as GM and Ford, can be programmed at home by using the owners manual and an existing working key. Some chip keys use an electronic chip that doesn't require batteries, but others do, and will require that the battery be replaced regularly.
