Transponder Chips

If you have a car equipped with a PASSLOCK or MATS ignition system, it will require an transponder chip to function. These chips are built into the key fob and send out an electrical signal that tells the computer in the car to open the doors and turn on the engine.

Transponder keys are useful in preventing auto theft. They are the first line of defense against vehicle theft and assist in keeping cars safe from thieves.

The computer compares the data with the profile of a valid, stored key in order to allow it to begin.

It is important to remember that not all transponder chips that are recycled can be used in any vehicle. Certain of them are locked, meaning they are only compatible with a specific year, make and model. The head of the car keys will have a molded symbol part number, identifying characters or key code stamped on it to identify the car it is compatible with.

Ignition locks

Ignition locks are an anti-theft mechanism to prevent thieves from stealing your car. When your keys are inside the ignition lock cylinder, it signals to the car's security system that you have your original keys and is able to turn it on. The system will lock the vehicle until you remove the lock switch from its position with your original keys or replace it by a different one.

Although they may appear indestructible but the ignition switches of a car are not impervious to the effects of time and may fail. A worn-out pin or spring is usually the reason for a malfunction. These parts can wear out over time, making it difficult to determine when they're due to be replaced.
