Things You Should Know About Transponder Keys

Posted on 17th, Jul 2017

Technology has come a long way and those improvements aren’t limited to computers only. The Australian automobile industry is no different. Along with what’s under the hood, regular car keys have also been replaced by what are known as transponder keys. Transponder keys are not automotive remote keys. So, what exactly are they, and do you need one?

Transponder Keys – Overview

Transponder key is an integral part of your car’s anti-theft system. It is a small microchip in the plastic head of your key, which receives a signal via an antenna ring around ignition cylinder. If the vehicle’s computer does not receive the appropriate response from the Transponder Key, the computer will refuse to let the vehicle operate.

Anti-Theft System

Transponder keys will prevent your vehicle from being hot-wired. As stated, your vehicle will not start if it does not receive the appropriate signal from your key. Even a copied key will not work if it does not have the proper signal. In these cases, it is best to consult a locksmith to make you a working copy of your transponder key. At NJ’S Locksmith Sydney, we have skilled automobile locksmiths who will provide you with what you need.

Emergency Situations

The old automobile keys were simpler when you managed to lose the keys to your vehicle. With transponder keys, it is not that simple. Keys seem to be misplaced when you don’t expect them to be. With transponder keys, that can get costly. You have to contact your dealership for a key and lock replacement. But what to do if you find yourself in an emergency situation? What if you are stuck outside your automobile early morning? The dealership won’t be able to help. Your option is to call up a good locksmith service that provides 24/7 emergency services like NJs Locksmith Sydney. We assist with lost keys, broken keys, rekeying, duplicating keys, and all at a minimal price than the dealership.

Transponder Key Programming

If you do find yourself in an emergency situation, you will be glad to know that transponder key programming only takes minutes. This service is different from key cutting. That means the key needs to fit into the car’s ignition to be able to start the vehicle. Be aware of secondhand keys. They cannot be re-cut. It is also possible that they are already programmed.
