Key Replacement Many cars today have keys that let you open your car's doors and start the engine with the press of the button. These keys have the microchip which is programmed for your car's specific system, which allows it to identify the vehicle and communicate with it. This is what allows the car to know that it is the correct key and the driver has authority to operate it. You may have to pay a lot of money to a dealer to replace your lost key. But, there is an alternative: an aftermarket key from a third-party company. These keys are available online and are less expensive those offered by the dealer. You'll need your vehicle identification number (VIN) when you purchase a replacement key. The VIN is located on the driver's side of the door or on a metal plate on the driver's side dashboard. It is important to have your registration number and insurance information. It's best to call locksmiths immediately if you lose your car key. They can replace your keys and also program them to your car. Auto locksmiths are able to accomplish this at a cheaper price than dealerships. Dealers may charge up to $200 for a single key, which includes towing fees. Transponder Keys The majority of car keys are fitted with a transponder. This means that they communicate with the vehicle via radio frequency. This is a safer and more secure option as opposed to non-transponder keys which don't have this feature and are more difficult to duplicate. A transponder is a tiny electronic device that has a unique code (it's actually a set of windings that look like the windings you would find in an electric motor). The Key Lab transmits the chip a signal when you insert the original transponder into the ignition. This chip then sends back an identifier that matches the immobilizer of your car which disables it so that only your key will be able to start it. Transponder chips are a standard feature on the majority of newer vehicles and are designed to deter car thefts, mainly by old-fashioned thieves or those who aren't as skilled who usually employ brute force and the “hot wire” method. It is important to keep in mind that no method is foolproof and criminals are constantly devising ways to take advantage of this technology. The cost of replacing a transponder could depend on the year, model and year of manufacture. It may cost more than a regular metal key, but the extra security is worth it. Generally speaking, you can have a transponder key cut at all locksmiths and some local shops such as AutoZone or Walmart. Keyless Entry Remotes If the remote key fob has stopped working after being dropped on the floor or has an indestructible battery and can't be replaced, the internal chip might have been damaged by water.
