Car security has evolved from a single piece made metal to laser-cut, flip keys and, now, transponder chips embedded in your key. These advancements have made cars less prone to theft and more user-friendly. However, these advancements in technology make it harder to fix issues once they occur. This is where the skills of professional locksmiths are required.

Transponder keys, which are a recent form of car security, were introduced in the early 1990s. They were developed in order to prevent auto theft by making it harder for thieves to steal hot wires from your vehicle. A transponder, which is an electronic micro-chip built into the head of your key, contains an identification code that matches the security system in your vehicle. When a key that has been programmed correctly is placed into the ignition lock cylinder it will emit the radio frequency energy. The antenna ring on your car will detect this energy, and then the vehicle will transmit a message that contains unique identification codes to the transponder. If the code matches the code, your car will begin.

The process of creating the transponder key is more complex than a standard blade key, and requires the help of an expert locksmith. Many car dealerships charge an additional fee to duplicate a key with transponder technology, but you can save money by hiring a certified and skilled locksmith.
