What is a transponder key?

Transponder keys can be described as a car key with an embedded microchip. This microchip transmits information to the vehicle using an unidirectional, low-level electromagnetic signal. It sends a coded signal to the receiver inside your car, which responds with the appropriate serial number that is saved in the engine control unit. This allows your car to start and open the doors.

Transponders were developed as a result of the increased instances of car theft. They are now part of almost all cars, and can prevent thieves hotwiring your vehicle.

A transponder, or electronic chip is a device that is non-volatile that doesn't require constant power to retain information. It's slightly bigger than the microchip in your phone, and looks like a fine wire.

These chips are present in almost all car keys produced since 1995. They are also used in smart keys, remote head keys (RHK) and some key fobs.

Transponder keys are more expensive to replace than a standard key, but it offers an extra layer of security. Alternately, you can make use of traditional non-transponder keys for car keys. These are the types that you've seen in older cars, and have grooves cut into the sides. These keys aren't clones but they are compatible with all ignitions that are standard, such as the MATS or PASSLOCK ignitions.

How do I get my key out of the case?

There are several reasons why your key fob may not function properly. The most common reason is an unresponsive coin battery that is easily replaced in a matter of minutes. It is important to only replace the battery with a genuine button cell that has the same size, voltage, and specifications as the original. Other causes could be worn buttons, poor contact with the battery, or water damage. Signal interference is a different cause and is caused by objects that are near the vehicle, radio transmitters on the same frequency, or an adjacent mobile phone. Lastly, the key fob receiver might have a fault.

If the key fob has been submerged in water, it is recommended to take the battery off and clean the electronic chip with isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner. This will help to stop the internal chip from being fried.

If you are unable to start your car using the new key, it could be because you have not transferred the transponder chip that was on the old one to the new key. To start the car with an alternative key, you have to hold it close to the vehicle to activate the transponder. If this isn't the case the key will need to be reprogrammed by an approved dealer.
