Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (also known as chip keys) are among the most well-known types of keys for cars. They work with a small microchip embedded in the head made of plastic.

This is done to prevent the copying of your keys by unauthorized copies which means you will be able to only start your vehicle.

While they offer a lot of security but they are easily played with and cause damage. They must be kept in a safe space that is out of reach of young children. They can also pose dangers if they are dropped or thrown into the water and some require batteries which can make them dangerous to leave around the home.

Most times an experienced locksmith will be able to duplicate these types of keys and then reprogramme them for you. This is done at less than what you'd pay a dealer and is also more practical.

Mechanical Keys

Modern cars do not make use of mechanical keys. Instead, they employ an RFID chip inside the key to identify it and communicate with the system of the car to start and run. The mechanical key can open the doors, as well as the fuel cap. However should it not be programmed to communicate with your vehicle and start, it won't work.

The system employs LF (low frequency of 125 kmhz) transmitting antennas both inside and outside the vehicle which communicate with the smart key. If the key is close enough to activate one of these antennas it sends its ID back to the car via RF (radio frequency >300 MHz). The PASE module then verifies the key's ID and turns off the immobilizer, which allows the vehicle to start.

If the battery of the smart key wears out or fails, a mechanical backup is available. Many manufacturers conceal the mechanical blade in an enclosure for aesthetic reasons. Most cars that are equipped with smart keys have an emergency start-up system that requires inserting the dead key fob in the slot, or placing it near a spot that is on the dashboard.
