Transponder Keys

Transponder keys have an integrated chip that connects to the on-board computer of your car. This is a crucial component of your vehicle because it adds a layer of protection to avoid theft. This feature is included on almost all cars manufactured since 1995. It is essential to know how to use it.

There are several kinds of transponder keys you can purchase for your car, including rolling and fixed code. Fixed code transponders have fixed codes that cannot be copied, whereas rolling code transponders change their codes every time they are used. This makes it difficult for anyone to copy your car key. This is one of the primary reasons people select this type.

Transponder keys are more expensive than a traditional metal key, despite the fact it comes with many security advantages. However the added security is often worth the extra cost. The most important thing to keep in mind is that should you lose your car key, you will need to visit a licensed dealer to replace it.

If you have transponder keys it's essential to keep it dry. If you are swimming or kayaking, keep it out of the water and heat. If your key fob becomes wet, take it off and dry them with paper towels.

Remote Keys

Some cars have remote keys that allow access to the trunk and doors without a physical key. To accomplish this, the driver puts their key in their pocket and walks within a distance of approximately one millimeter to the door or trunk, and then hit the Request Switch. The car senses the signal and then sends a response, which unlocks the doors or opens the trunk. When the driver returns to the car, they press the Request Switch again to lock it, or to start the engine, if inside the cabin.

The keys transmit a code of 40 bits when they're pulled, and the receiver in the car is looking for that code to determine what action to take. If someone finds your key fob in a bag or purse or other object, they could "capture" the code, then retransmit it and open the car even when the original transmitter's battery is dead. To stop this, a few automobile manufacturers have added a mechanical key to the key fob, which can be used when the electronic key isn't working.

Another function that is not obvious to some keys for cars is the ability to open all windows and open the sunroof by pressing a single button. This is particularly useful during hot weather. This feature is not usually identified, but it can be activated by pressing the unlock button on the key fob at least six times in less than 10 seconds.

Keyless Entry Keys

Modern key fobs can also include an electronic key that allows you to unlock and start the vehicle even when the battery is dead. To remove the key, push or move a release knob or button on the fob, and pull. Reinstalling it is as simple as doing the opposite. However, this method doesn't have the same convenience as a remote key and it also makes it difficult to lend or share your car.

Certain key fobs include additional functions that can be activated by pressing multiple buttons, such as the ability to roll down all windows or open a sunroof by pressing just one button. For instance, the key fobs for Volvo SUVs and Ford pickups feature this function. It's not always identified but it is possible to trigger it by pressing the lock and unlock button on the key fob in tandem (within 10 seconds) while holding the unlock button down until all windows are rolled up or the sunroof is opened.

Some carmakers, such as Tesla and Hyundai, use keyless entry, which does not require a fob. You can lock and unlock your vehicle by using a smartphone app. These systems are referred to as digital keys or phone-as-key apps. They're generally less expensive than traditional fobs. But they're not without their own set of issues. For instance some applications aren't safe enough to protect your vehicle's data from hackers.

Key Cutting

Keys are used to protect valuables and are therefore a popular target. There are methods to prevent this. One method that is popular is to use spare keys to allow the home owner access without requiring the original key. This is beneficial for those who work from home or share their house with others.

The process of cutting a key involves measuring the original key and the blank to ensure they are of the same length. Once this is accomplished, the machine will then begin to cut the new key. It is essential to only use a machine that has been properly maintained and operated by skilled experts as there are very high error rates using key machines.

Using a key cutter that isn't maintained correctly can result in poor cuts and eventually broken keys. Our experienced professionals will know how to handle the cutting of keys and make sure that the new keys are the right length and that they have the proper grooves in the blade to work with the key fob.
