Regular? Transponder? What’s the difference ?

 

Let’s face: in the past stealing a car was as easy as breaking in and connecting a couple of wires (hot wiring was the name of this technique). A standard key wasn’t the most reliable security system, as they could be easily duplicated. This used to be a huge problem until the apparition of transponder keys in the 80’s.

 

Transponder key includes a chip inside the plastic part on the key. This chip can receive a radio frequency signal from an antenna inside the car. There is an exchange of information between the antenna and the chip. If everything is ok, the antenna will disable the car immobilizer and the car will start. If not, the car just won’t start. Is a simple but secure way to avoid car theft.

 

That’s the reason why transponder car keys are so difficult to duplicate, because you’ll need to program the chip. At Best Locksmith Services, we are ready to make any type of car key duplicates. Our expert technicians have all the tools to cut and program a new car key to match your vehicle, besides we can program other types of car keys, delete old key codes from the system and more.
