Key Replacement A lot of cars have keys that allow you to open your car's doors and turn on the motor by pushing button.

Transponder Keys The majority of car keys are equipped with a transponder, which means they communicate with the vehicle using radio frequency. This is a much safer and more secure option than non-transponder keys, which don't have this feature and are more difficult to duplicate. A transponder or miniaturized electronic key, is a codified chip (actually a set of windings akin to those in an electric motor). The engine control unit transmits an alert to your chip when you insert the original transponder into the ignition. The chip then transmits an identifier that matches the immobilizer of your car which disables it so that only your key is able to start it. Transponder chips are standard on many newer vehicles. They are designed to protect against car theft, particularly from old-fashioned thieves who often resort to the force of a gun and a 'hot wire' approach. It's important to keep in mind that no method is foolproof and criminals are constantly coming up with ways to thwart this technology. The cost of replacing a transponder can differ based on your vehicle's year, make and model. It's a bit more expensive than a basic metal key, but it's well worth it for the additional security that this technology provides. You can usually get a transponder cut at any locksmith or local store such as AutoZone, Walmart, etc. Keyless Entry Remotes The internal chip may have been damaged due to humidity if the remote fob stopped working after it was dropped on the floor or when the battery is dead and can't be replaced.
