The key fob allows you to unlock and start your Picanto. The key also comes with an embedded security chip that deactivates the car's immobiliser system.

The key fob is handy for locking and unlocking your vehicle, whether shopping at the supermarket with your hands full, or running your daily tasks. It can, however, stop working due to a variety of reasons.

Transponder Key

Modern technology has enabled us to gain a lot of advantages in our vehicles. One of these benefits is the emergence of transponder keys that let you start your car with keys that contain an RFID chip. The chip sends an alert to the immobilizer which informs it that you have the correct key to drive your vehicle. It also helps reduce car theft. It can be harder to duplicate this kind of key, but it is not impossible. If you're in need of replacing a transponder, call an automotive locksmith.

The first thing that you should do before calling a locksmith is to make sure that you have all your vehicle's details in order. This includes the VIN number along with the year, model, and the trim (options). This will help them find your vehicle's key quickly. You can also save money. Transponder keys usually cost more than a standard metal key but it's not as expensive as getting an ignition system that is new.

A key fob with chip security is more secure than a traditional metal key. It is more difficult to duplicate and is not as easy to hot wire. The chip inside the key fob connects to the computer in the vehicle, allowing it to recognize that you have the right key and it can let it operate. This is an excellent method to be confident regarding the security of your car.

Keyless Entry System

Keyless entry systems are a common feature in many cars. Unlike traditional keys, which require the user to insert them into the lock and turn them, this system sends radio signals to the vehicle. When the car detects that the key fob is in range, it will unlock the vehicle or turn on the engine. Certain systems permit the driver to open the windows as well as the trunk by pressing the fob's button.

A keyless system can be more convenient, especially in colder weather, since it doesn't require you to insert the key into the lock. Additionally, it could protect the mechanism of the lock due to dirt or ice. It is important to remember that a keyless car lock will not function in the event of an electrical outage or if a battery in the vehicle is dead. Consequently, it is recommended to keep an emergency key in the glove box in the car.

Another benefit of keys that are not used is that it offers more security than a standard key. Certain systems, for instance can automatically lock the vehicle when the driver steps off, and can also turn off the engine if the driver forgets. These options are particularly useful if you have your car parked near a high-crime area or if you're concerned about leaving valuables in the car.

Keyless Start System

With a keyless ignition system, you can begin and unlock your vehicle without the use of an actual key. It uses a transponder in your smart fob to send a unique ID code that's authenticated by your vehicle's anti-theft system. When the smart key is in close proximity to the vehicle the transponder emits an alert that activates the engine, just like the key.

Both imported and domestic vehicles are increasingly using these systems. A single press starts the engine, and turns on other electronic features, such as the radio. With just one push the button, you can turn on the air conditioning. Pressing the button two times will shut off the electrical functions of the vehicle. Pressing the button with your foot on brake will stop the motor.

However, many drivers are forgetting to put their vehicle in "park" before exiting, and this has caused a few injuries. Luckily, all systems have safeguards to prevent this problem. Some require you to flip or turn a switch before you press the start button, and others run pre-start safety checks to ensure that the car is in park and your foot is not on the brake. Other safety tips include reading the owner's manual, observing basic safety practices and watching NHTSA video on keyless ignition.

Remote Control

The Remote Control System that comes with your kia sportage key fob replacement makes your life simpler by allowing you to lock and unlock your car at any time any time, from any location. This is done by two sensors inside your Kia keyfob which communicates with the standard immobiliser mechanism in the car and is located inside the engine control module (ECU).

When you press a button on your key fob, it sends data to a generation 103, indicating that a select key was activated. The data generator 103 then generates trigger information that indicates the selected function, and then transmits it to a transmitter 104. The transmitter 104 modifies infrared lights using the trigger data, and then sends it to the remote control interface 109.

A receiver 110 within the remote control interface 109 takes the modulated infrared beam and demodulates it in order to recover the control code inside the carrier wave. The remote control interface relays the control codes to an electronic device which activates the desired functions using the code.
