Transponder Keys

Almost all cars made in the last 20 years are equipped with transponder chips in them. These chips, which are located inside the key heads transmit a digital serial number that is connected to your vehicle's engine computer when it is near the ignition. The car will not start when the serial numbers aren't identical.

When you insert the chip key into the ignition barrel it is absorption by the wire coil surrounding it. The coil transmits electromagnetic energy to the microchip within the key's head. The chip responds with the unique frequency only your particular key can transmit. This is how the car determines that the key is valid to start.

Transponder keys come in varieties which is why you should be aware of which one you have before approaching a locksmith. You do not want to get conned by a company who promises to duplicate a chip key for low cost, but in reality they have no idea what they're doing.

Remote Fobs

A key fob can be used to unlock a vehicle and also arm the standard immobilizer. Key fobs are more prevalent in the latest Jaguar models, but older models may also have key fobs retrofitted.

The majority of modern car key fobs are wireless devices that are able to lock or unlock and even start the engine at the push of the button. Certain fobs also activate the alarm system and flash the lights in order to help motorists locate their car in parking garages with lots of cars.

These devices are useful especially for those who reside in urban areas in which public transportation isn't available and parking garages can be filled. These devices are also a viable option for those who struggle twisting a traditional key.

Fobs are also more secure than keys. The signal they transmit has rolling code encryption that blocks thieves from stealing and copying the unlock sequence. The transmitters on each key fob transmit a fresh code by using a pseudo-random generator. If the thief captures and replays an old code, the car won't respond, and the thief will be unable to open the door.

Consumer Reports states that the key fob can be used to begin most newer Jaguars. Some have the ability to remotely activate the air conditioning on cold days. However, it's important to remember that these features aren't offered on all vehicles, and the fobs must be programmed in order to function properly with each particular vehicle.
