Replacement Keys A lot of cars have key fobs that allow you to open the doors of your vehicle and then start the engine by pressing a button. The keys contain an embedded microchip that has been programmed for your car's specific system, which allows it to identify the vehicle and communicate with it. This lets the car know that it is the right key and that the driver is authorized to use it. You may have to pay a significant amount of money to a dealer to replace your lost key. There is an alternative, an aftermarket key from a third-party firm. These keys can be purchased on the internet and are less expensive than the ones offered by the dealer. It is necessary to provide your vehicle identification number (VIN) when ordering an replacement key.

Auto locksmiths are able to do this for a lower price than dealerships. The cost of a key from the dealer could be $200 or more including towing costs. Transponder Keys The majority of car keys are fitted with a transponder, which means that they communicate with the vehicle via radio frequency. This is a safer and more secure alternative to non-transponder keys, which are not equipped with this feature and are easily duplicated. A transponder or miniaturized electronic key, is a codified chip (actually a set of windings, similar to those used in an electric motor). When you insert the original transponder key into the ignition and turn it on, the engine control unit sends an indication to the chip. The chip will then transmit a code that matches the immobilizer on your car which disables it so that only your key can start it. Transponder chips are included in the majority of modern vehicles and are designed to stop car theft, especially from old-fashioned thieves that often use brutal force and a 'hot wire' method. It's important to keep in mind that no method is foolproof and criminals are constantly developing ways to defeat this technology. The cost of replacing a transponder can differ based on your vehicle's year, model and year of manufacture. It can be more expensive than a standard metal key, but the security benefits are worth it. Generally speaking, you can have a transponder key cut at all locksmiths and some local stores like AutoZone or Walmart.
