Transponder keys can be an additional layer of security, and can help protect your vehicle from being stolen. They are harder to duplicate than remote keys and are only copied by an electronic scanner designed for this type of key. They also work with most automobiles' immobilizers, making it difficult for thieves wiring the vehicle to leave.
Keyless Entry Remotes
Many vehicles have keyless entry systems, which allow drivers to unlock their vehicle without the need to insert the car key. Typically, this is done using a door-mounted keypad, a key fob (or "keychain remote") or a wirelessly-enabled handheld computing device that communicates with the car's system. These devices can be used to lock or unlock the car, turn off the ignition, and activate the lighting of the vehicle.
Keyless entry relies on the transmitter in the fob communicating with the receiver inside the vehicle via a unique code. It is vital to get your fob reprogrammed if you need new keys, need to replace the battery in your fob, or you have lost your fob's keys.
It's important to be careful when purchasing a replacement key fob online as some sellers will not require you for proof of ownership. They may send the wrong key or even an empty shell. You can avoid this by having your key fob reprogrammed by a certified automotive dealer or locksmith.
