Transponder keys are used in most cars that have been manufactured within the past 20 years. Transponders use microchips that transmit a low-level signal from a key that is read by a remote receiver. The microchip is programmed by the manufacturer with a unique serial number and the remote receiver in your vehicle will only respond to that serial number.
When you insert your key into the lock or ignition of your vehicle, a signal is sent from the transponder key to the receiver located near the ignition. If the serial number matches the one in the car, it will start when the driver turns the key.
Just like any other key, you may lose, misplace, or have your car keys stolen. What most people do not know is that locksmiths use the same equipment as car dealerships. We have the same ability to duplicate transponder keys or replace lost ones at a more affordable price than the dealerships.
