The vast majority of cars made since the mid-90s have keys that are fit with microchips. These electronic microchips function by sending and receiving radio signals to communicate with your engine’s computer. When the correct signal is sent and received, the vehicle’s immobilizer disengages and the engine is able to fire up. If the signals between the chip and the vehicle’s computer don’t match, the immobilizer will stay armed. Due to this, transponder chips are an effective form of vehicle security. VAT (vehicle antitheft) keys work much in the same way.
As you can imagine, transponder keys are more difficult to create duplicates of than regular keys. That’s because the key not only needs to be cut to fit the lock, but the transponder chip must be programmed exactly right as well. Otherwise, even if the key fits into the lock, if the transponder chip is not programmed correctly, the vehicle won’t fire up. Whether your original transponder key was lost or broken and you need a replacement, or you just want to have a spare made, call Renton Locksmith WA for fast assistance.
