Transponder ("Chip") Keys Transponder or "Chip" keys come with most newer cars and provide a radio transmission between the car and key. This radio transmission allows for a key to be programmed to only start a specific, individual car. Thus, only the person who is in possession of a car’s transponder key will be able to start and drive it. Transponder keys reduce the opportunity for car thieves to steal a car. We have a large inventory of factory original and after-market automotive keys.
24 Hour Emergency Services
The way transponder key programming works involves a microchip that resides in the top of the key.
This microchip has a serial number, which matches a unique value programmed into the transponder key. The
electronic engine control units (ECU) will send a request to the vehicle for it to validate the
serial number. If the car doesn't recognize any serial number within its set of confirmed and
correct numbers, the car will not start.
