Transponder Keys

If you own a car manufactured in the last 20 years, it is highly likely that your key contains a transponder chip in it. These chips are embedded in the plastic head of the key and are designed to communicating with the computer system inside your car when the key is put into the ignition. This allows the car to confirm that the key is indeed yours and also disarms the vehicle immobilizer, making sure that only you are able to start the engine.

The chip in the car key is powered by an electromagnetic signal which is transmitted by a small coil inside the barrel of the key. The chip transmits a signal back to the car when it receives this signal, and the computer can then recognize that it is your key. This eliminates the chance of fraudulent key tampering and also deterring theft.

Key Fobs

A key fob can be capable of more than unlocking your car's doors. These handy devices can be used to open your windows, summon your vehicle and auto-park it.

Fobs communicate with the door latch via the radio system referred to as RFID. A RFID chip inside the fob transmits a unique coded signal which matches with the code on the reader inside the door latch. Once the signal matches the code, the door will open to allow access to the owner.

It shouldn't take you more than a couple of minutes to replace the battery. Most fobs come with a replaceable cover that makes it easy to perform replacement of the battery. The instructions are available in the owner's manual, or view online videos.

Keyless Entry

Keyless entry is a convenient feature that lets you unlock your car without having to reach for the door handle. It utilizes radio signals to communicate between the key fob and the car. It also allows you to start and lock the engine using the key fob. This technology is becoming commonplace in all types of vehicles.

Ignition Cylinder

Over time, the ignition cylinder can be worn down or even wash out and stop functioning properly. This will usually lead to problems starting or powering up the car. You may also notice that the key is stuck in the ignition.

In most instances, you'll need to replace the ignition cylinder instead of just the car key. This could be an expensive and complicated process particularly for cars with security systems that require the ignition cylinder to be replaced in order to operate correctly.
