Smart Keys

Smart keys are key fobs that have been fitted with technology to improve security, convenience and functionality. They can unlock doors and start cars remotely by using the car's sensors.

They transmit radio-frequency signals to the sensors in the vehicle. The sensors can then identify the unique encrypted code that is on your smart key and allow it to operate the vehicle. The sensor will also be able to monitor the proximity of the smart key to ensure it is in range. If you happen to lock yourself out of the vehicle the key will send a remote signal to the sensors which instructs them to lock the door. The smart key will inform you when its battery is low and should be replaced as soon as possible.

There are various types of smart keys that are available for your Lexus. For instance, BMW's Display Key has a small LCD touchscreen with a color display that allows the driver to perform many of the same functions as the traditional key fob. It can lock, unlock & start the car, and can open the trunk and operate the steering wheel-mounted controls.

The keys are more difficult to replace than traditional key fobs, and they might take longer to program if there are extra services required. The entire procedure should take between 10 to 30 minutes, which is quicker than waiting for the new key at a dealership.

Key Fobs

Car key fobs aren't just keys that open the doors. They're sophisticated devices that allow you to do many things without touching the car. They come with built-in security protocols to help keep your car safe. They also have an option that locks and unlocks the doors of the vehicle and pushes the button to start the engine, all without touching the car. However, that convenience comes with the cost of broken or lost fobs can be expensive to replace.

The cost to replace a key fob depends on the type of replacement you'll need and the basic fobs (also known as proxy cards) being the least expensive. They are typically found on older vehicles. They don't require any special encryption and can be easily copied using the cheapest card cloner available on the internet.

A key reader is needed to copy the code of an advanced fob. Most locksmith shops have these devices, but it is important to ensure that they are equipped with the correct equipment prior to taking your vehicle in.

Additionally, some services may also require you to verify your identity prior the copying process. The fobs were developed to protect property owners and limit the entry of unauthorized persons. The most common method is asking for proof of residency or ownership.

Transponder Keys

As opposed to older keys that still require a mechanical insert into the ignition cylinder, modern car keys are fitted with a tiny electronic chip in the key's head. The chips emit a signal when they are inserted into the ignition that is then detected by the vehicle's immobilizer. If the immobilizer is able to recognize the signal and determines that it matches the code, it will turn off the ignition engine and allow the car to begin. If the immobilizer fails to recognize the signal, the engine will not turn over and thieves will be discouraged from attempting to wire the car.

If you have a transponder key, it will typically have a bigger head of rubber or plastic than a conventional key. The transponder chip is located inside the head of the key. The chip has to be programmed for the car to recognize the key. Fortunately, professional locksmiths can do this for you at only a fraction of the cost that a dealership will charge.

Based on the specific car you have the key might need to be programmed to your vehicle by using a different procedure and programming pattern. Locksmiths are equipped with the same technology as car dealerships, so this is not an issue. Locksmiths can usually reprogram the chip in just a few minutes.
