Transponder Chip Keys

The microchip in the key will respond to it with a unique code the immobilizer on your car can recognize and read. The immobilizer will allow the engine to begin only when the correct key is used.

With the exception of a few car models, most modern vehicles use these keys. They are much more secure than older keys made of metal, since they can stop a skilled and determined car burglar from using the hot wire or any other method to start the car.

Keyless Entry Keys
