Transponder Chip Keys
If your car was manufactured in the last 20 years, it is likely to include a transponder in its plastic head. It could look like a tiny motherboard, however, it is a vital component of your car's security as it deters thieves from starting your vehicle.
The way it works is easy - once you insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the on position the antenna ring sends out a surge of energy via radio frequency. The microchip inside your key will respond with a unique code which the immobilizer of your vehicle can read. The immobilizer will only permit the car to start when the correct key has been used.
Except for a few car models, all modern cars use these keys. They are safer than the old-fashioned metal keys, as they stop a skilled and determined car thief from using an electric wire or another method to start the car.
It doesn't matter if your transponder key is a blade design which needs to be put in the ignition cylinder, or a remote-controlled fob you keep in your pocket. A locksmith who is certified will need to clone it using specialized equipment to allow it to function correctly. Many car dealerships offer this service, but you'll usually get the best price with an independent locksmith in the automotive industry.
Remote Fob Keys
The key fob that you have for your car (also known as RKE remote keyless access or the plastic item to unlock your door) may seem like an tiny piece of tech. However, it has many other uses. Fobs can open windows or summon your car and even park it for you in places that are difficult to park (if the vehicle has that feature, which is available by a few BMWs).
The newest fobs are designed to withstand the rigors of use, and include a "Panic" button that can be used to make loud sounds and scare away people who may be trying to steal the car. It is also possible to send GPS coordinates or to call emergency services. We recommend that you get a spare fob or key if you don't own one already. Some auto insurance policies, extended warranties and club memberships will pay for an additional key or fob.
The majority of the time you can get an aftermarket fob from an authorized dealer and it's usually cheaper to purchase it from the parts department than through the service department. However each dealer we surveyed said they won't program an aftermarket fob to work with your car without identification of ownership and registration. Fortunately, you can get a second, working fob programmed by a locksmith. websites that advertise this service require a key code number that is stamped on a metal plate that is attached to the fob set, and then stored in a safe place (like your glove box). Make use of a small screwdriver and the key code that is in the owner's manual or at the dealership to pry the fob's case open.
Keyless Entry Keys
A majority of new cars come with keyless entry as a standard feature. The car key fob has buttons to lock and unlock the car, as well as open the trunk or roll down windows. Other security features are also available like a security feature that prevents the car from being started by anyone other than the owner. If you're concerned about theft, putting in a tracking device to your car could help deter thieves as well.
Keyless entry is an excellent alternative, but it could also fail just like any other piece of equipment or accessory. The battery might die, the key fob can be lost, or may be damaged if you drop it on the hard surface. These problems can be difficult to resolve because the key fob uses electronic components instead of metal.
