Transponder Keys

A transponder key is equipped with embedded chips that connects to the car's computer on board. This is a vital component of your vehicle because it adds a layer of security to prevent theft. Nearly all automobiles produced since 1995 include this feature, and it's important to understand how to use them correctly.

You can select between fixed code and rolling codes for your transponder key. Fixed code transponders come with a fixed code that cannot be copied, while rolling code transponders change their codes every time they are used. This makes it difficult for anyone to copy your car key. This is the primary reasons people select this type.

While transponder car keys offer a lot of security benefits however, it can be more expensive than traditional metal keys. The added security is worth the extra cost.

Remote Keys

Certain vehicles use remote keyless entry that opens the trunk and doors without the need for a physical keys. To accomplish this, the driver inserts their key in their pocket and moves within a radius of about one meter to the door handle or trunk, where they hit the Request Switch. The car senses the signal and responds that unlocks the doors or opens the trunk. When the driver returns to the car and presses the Request Switch again to lock it, or to start the engine if they're inside the car.

The keys transmit a code of 40 bits when they're pulled, and the receiver in the car is looking for that code to decide the best course of action. If someone comes across your key fob, they could "capture" and retransmit it and then open the car, even if the key is dead. To prevent this from happening, some automobile manufacturers have added a mechanical key to the key fob which can be used in the event that the electronic key isn't working.

Another hidden function of some car keys is the ability to lower all windows and open the sunroof with only a single button. This is particularly helpful on hot days. This feature isn't normally described, but it can be activated by pressing the unlock button on the key fob at minimum six times in less than 10 seconds.

Keyless Entry Keys

Certain modern key fobs contain a mechanical key inside, allowing you to unlock and start the car even if your battery dies. To remove the key, push or slide a release knob button on the fob, and pull. Reinstalling it is as simple as removing it. But, this method doesn't provide the same convenience as a remote key, and it also makes it difficult to lend or share your car.

Some key fobs have additional functions that are activated by pressing a number of buttons. For example, you can roll down all the windows or open the sunroof using just one button. For instance, the key fobs for Volvo SUVs and Ford pickups are equipped with this feature. It's not typically labeled, however, it could be activated by pressing the locks and unlock buttons on the fob simultaneously (within 10 seconds) while pressing the unlock button until all windows are rolled down or the sunroof is opened.

A few carmakers--such as Tesla and Hyundai--use keyless entry that isn't fob-based. Instead you can use a smartphone app to lock or unlock your vehicle. These systems are known as digital keys or phone-as key apps and they're usually cheaper than traditional fobs. However, they may have some issues of their own. Many of these apps, like aren't secure enough to guard your vehicle's data from being hacked.

Key Cutting

Keys are used to secure valuables and are therefore a popular target. However, there are strategies to avoid this occurring. One of the most popular methods is to use spare keys to allow individuals access to your home without the need for the original key. This is helpful for people who work at their home or share a space with others.
