What Is a Transponder Key?
Transponder keys are factory-made accessories that come with a vehicle, and provide for radio transmission between the car and the key. This radio transmission allows for a key to be programmed to only start a specific, individual car. Transponder keys are also known as chip keys, and they are mostly found in newer model cars. There is a lot of technology involved in the creation of a transponder key, which is also unique to the specific model vehicle. The primary function of a transponder chip key is to disarm a vehicle’s immobilizer when the car key is used to start the engine. It’s main purpose is to steer burglars away from your vehicle, and drastically reduce the amount of auto theft overall.
