Transponder Keys

Transponder keys come with an embedded chip that communicates with the computer on board of your car. This is a vital component of your vehicle, as it adds a layer of protection against theft. This feature is present on virtually all cars produced from 1995 onwards. It is important to understand how to utilize it.

There are many kinds of transponder keys you can buy for your car, including rolling and fixed code. Fixed code transponders are exclusive and cannot be duplicated. Transponders with rolling code however have their codes changed each time they are used. This makes it very difficult for anyone to copy your car key, which is one of the primary reasons people opt for this kind of car key.

A transponder key can be more expensive than a traditional metal key, despite the fact it comes with many security advantages. However, the added security is often worth the additional cost. The most important thing to keep in mind is that should you lose your car key, you will need to go to a dealer authorized to replace it.

It's essential to protect your transponder key from water and heat. Avoid exposure to water or heat and put it in a safe bag whenever you go swimming or kayaking. If your key fob becomes wet, take the batteries off and clean them off with paper towels.

Remote Keys

Certain vehicles have remote keyless entry, which unlocks the trunk and doors with no physical key. To do this, the driver puts their key in their pocket and moves within a range of about one meters to the door's handle or trunk, from where they press the Request Switch. The car detects the signal and responds, which unlocks the doors or opens the trunk. When the driver returns to their car they press the Request Switch again to lock it, or start the engine if inside the cabin.

The keys transmit a code of 40 bits when they're pressed, and the receiver in the car is looking for that code to determine what action to take. If someone happens to find your key fob in a bag or purse it is possible to "capture" the code, retransmit it and open the car even if the original transmitter's battery is dead. To stop this, a few carmakers have added a mechanical key to the key fob which can be used in the event that the electronic key isn't working.

Another hidden function of some keys for cars is the ability to roll down all the windows and open the sunroof using only a single button. This is especially beneficial during hot weather. This feature isn't usually labeled, but can be activated by pressing the unlock button on the key fob at least six times in less than 10 seconds.

Keyless Entry Keys

Some modern key fobs include a mechanical key inside, allowing you to unlock and start your car even if the battery is dead. To remove the key, push or slide a release knob or button on the fob, and pull. Reinstalling it is as easy as doing the opposite. However, this method doesn't provide the same convenience as a remote key and it also makes it difficult to lend or share your car.

Some key fobs have extra functions that can be activated by pressing several buttons, like the capability to roll down all windows or open a sunroof by pressing one button. This function is available on the key fobs of Volvo SUVs and Ford trucks, for instance. It's not always clearly labeled but can be triggered when pressing the lock and unlock button on the key fob simultaneously (within 10 seconds) while pressing the unlock button until all windows are opened up or the sunroof has been opened.

Certain car manufacturers, like Tesla and Hyundai, use keyless entry without a fob. Instead, you can use a smartphone app to lock or unlock your vehicle. These systems are known as digital keys or phone-as key apps and they're usually cheaper than traditional fobs. However, they do have their own issues. For instance some of these apps aren't protected enough to safeguard your car's data from hackers.

Key Cutting

Keys are typically used to secure valuable objects and therefore are the perfect target for theft. However, there are methods to prevent this from occurring. One popular way to prevent this is to offer spare keys that permit others to gain access to your home without the original key. This is beneficial for those who work from their home or share a space with other people.
