Transponder Key

Modern technology has allowed us to enjoy a number of advantages in our vehicles. Transponder keys are just one of the benefits of modern technology. They permit you to start your car with keys that have an embedded RFID chip. This chip sends an immobilizer a signal that confirms that you've got the correct key for driving your vehicle. The chip also helps decrease the chances of theft from cars. This type of key might be more difficult to duplicate, but it's not impossible. If you're looking to replace the transponder, contact an automotive locksmith.

The first thing you must do prior to calling locksmiths is to ensure that you have all the details of your vehicle. This includes the VIN number year, model, year and trim (options). This will allow them to locate the correct key for your car quickly. You can also save money. A transponder key typically costs more than a standard metal key, but it's not as costly as an entirely new ignition system.

A key fob with a chip is more secure than a standard metal key. It is more difficult to duplicate and less prone to hot wire. The chip inside the key fob communicates with the computer in the vehicle, allowing it to recognize that you have the correct key and allow it to operate. This is an excellent way to feel secure about the security of your vehicle.

Keyless Entry System

A lot of cars have keyless entry option. As opposed to traditional keys that require the user to insert them into the lock and turn the lock, this system transmits radio signals to the vehicle. When the car senses that the key fob is in reach, it will either unlock or start the engine. Certain systems allow drivers to open the windows as well as the trunk by pressing a button on the fob.

Using a keyless system can be more convenient, particularly in cold weather, because it does not require inserting the key into the lock, and could protect the lock mechanism of your car from dirt or ice. However, it is important to keep in mind that keys that are not keyless will not function in the event of power failure or if the battery fails. It is therefore recommended that you keep a spare key in the glovebox of your vehicle.

Keyless systems also offer more security than a traditional key. Some systems, for example can automatically secure the car when the driver gets off, and will stop the engine if the driver forgets. These functions are especially useful if your vehicle is situated in a highly-crime zone or if you're concerned about putting valuables into the car.

Keyless Start System

With the keyless ignition system, you can begin and unlock your car without an actual key. It uses the transponder on your smart fob to transmit an identification code that is authenticated by the vehicle's anti-theft system. If the smart key is close proximity to the vehicle, the transponder transmits a signal that activates the engine just like a key.

Domestic and imported vehicles are increasingly using these systems. A push button starts the engine, and turns on other electrical features, such as the radio. By a single press you can switch on the air conditioner. Pressing the button two times will turn off the electrical functions of the vehicle. Pressing the button while putting your foot on brake will stop the motor.

However some drivers forget to put their car in "park" before exiting the vehicle, and this has led to a few injuries. Fortunately, the majority of systems have protections against this issue. Some require the user to rotate or flick a switch before you press the start button, and other systems run pre-start safety checks that 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 the basic safety guidelines, and watching NHTSA video on keyless ignition.

Remote Control

The Remote Control System that comes with your kia spare key makes your life easier by allowing users to lock and unlock the car at any time and from anywhere. This is accomplished through a pair of sensors located within your Kia key fob that communicate with your vehicle's standard immobiliser systems which are in the engine control unit (ECU).

When you press a key on your key fob, it sends data to a generation 103, indicating that a key for selection was hit. The data generator 103 generates trigger data indicating the function you have selected and transmits it through an electronic transmitter 104. The transmitter 104 modulates the infrared beam based on the trigger data, and then transmits it to the remote control interface 109.

A receiver 110 in the remote control interface 109 receives the modulated light infrared and demodulates it to find the control code within the carrier wave. The remote control interface transmits the control codes to an electronic device which activates the desired functions using the code.

The battery in your Kia smart key or key fob is expected to last for years, but it will eventually require to be replaced. You can replace the battery yourself with a thin tool to pry off the cover. Then you can replace it with a brand new one (CR2032). If you're not sure what battery to use you should contact an authorized Kia service partner or dealer. If you decide to replace the battery, be sure you dispose of it in accordance with local regulations.
