Programming Car Keys

Nowadays, cars have smart keys and key fobs, which need to be programmed to work properly. Programming can be completed at a car dealership or with specialized tools.

Hardware stores are unable to duplicate modern car keys. Most customers will end in an auto dealership or a locksmith. Stores that provide these tools can help customers program replacement keys, reset immobilizer information and other.

Keys with transponders

There are many different types of car keys on the market. The best key is based on your preferences and needs. Some are easier to use, while others offer more security. Keys with transponders are an excellent choice for people who want extra security against theft. They are equipped with a chip in the key head that transmits signals to your car's computer when it is put into the ignition. The car's computer examines these signals to make sure that the key is genuine. This helps prevent car thieves from entering the vehicle by stopping them from starting the car without the right key.

Transponder chips, a relatively recent technology, are usually built in to the key head of your car. These chips are specifically designed to send a unique digital serial number each time the key is inserted into the ignition. The information is read by the transponder reader of the car which is connected to the ignition. If the information is in line, the car will start. This method is much more secure than traditional mechanical keys because it avoids hot-wiring. It is not foolproof. Thieves have come up with methods to circumvent this security feature.

Most people think that their dealership is the only place to go to get the best service when it comes to replacing transponder keys. Locksmiths can duplicate a transponder keys at a fraction of what a dealership charges. They use the same equipment that dealerships use and can offer an original key replacement at a lower price.

A special kind of key is the Fobik Remote Key, which has an integrated transponder. These keys are typically used in Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge vehicles. They can also be found on Mercedes and Infiniti vehicles. These keys are difficult to duplicate and require more programming than standard keys.

Keys equipped with transponder chips

If your car was built within the last 20 years, it is nearly certain that it is equipped with a key that contains transponders. These keys, often called chip keys or ignition keys are designed to prevent theft of cars by making it difficult for thieves to hot-wire your vehicle. These keys are also used in garage door openers as well as home alarm systems.

Transponder chips (pictured below) are small microchips embedded in the head part of your car keys that send a signal to the computer in your vehicle whenever the key is used to turn on the ignition and start the motor. The signal is sent via an antenna ring surrounding the ignition cylinder. Your car must be able to read this signal to begin. If your car is not capable of recognizing the signal from your key, it will shut down - this is referred to as the immobilizer system.

Car theft was a major issue in the past before this technology became widely employed. Hot-wiring is a method that many thieves use to steal your car. They could fool the computer of the car to think that the key was valid by simply wrapping a wire around it.

This new technology has allowed to reduce hot-wiring and as a result, car thefts have drastically decreased. GM was the first US manufacturer to adopt this technology in their 1985 Corvette. Since then, all major automobile manufacturers have incorporated this technology into their vehicles.

The majority of people are familiar with the how a standard transponder key appears. They appear like a standard metal key with an attractive plastic top. This plastic top is the location of the chip and is known as a "chip-fob key programmer". These keys can be cut in several different styles, such as a standard or laser cut (also called a sidewinder) or a tibbe-style key found on some Jaguars and Fords.

The majority of transponder keys require specialized equipment in order to be programmed. However, some models of keys such as GM and Ford, can be programmed at home with the owner's manual and an existing working key. Certain chip keys come with a microchip that doesn't need a battery. Others do and require charging the battery on a regular basis.
