Lost or Stolen keys
A key replacement is costly and time-consuming. It is also possible to pay for a tow as well as to have your car's chip repaired.
The prevention of losing your keys is a good way to save time as well as money. Consider using a brightly colored reflective piece of your keychain or painting the bow of your key with a hue that is noticeable. Keep a spare key for your
seat spare key in a safe spot, just to be sure.
If you do locate your key lost, try to identify it by looking at the code that is stamped on the bow of the key. This can help you determine if the key is the right key for your particular
seat key fob replacement.
Transponder Chip Keys
Transponder keys, also referred to as chip keys or key FOBs (fobs which control your key) are among the most widely used kinds of car keys. They've been in use for more than 20 years and are designed to ward off theft by sending a coded message each time they are inserted into your car's ignition.
Transponders are microchips embedded in the plastic cover of your car keys. When the key is placed into a key FOB or ignition in your car, it sends a low-level radio signal the vehicle's Engine Control Unit (ECU). The ECU detects a unique digital serial number on the chip and responds in the same manner. If the signal is in line, then the engine will start.
While transponder chips don't guarantee security, they're a great way to reduce auto thefts. The idea behind these kinds of car keys is actually quite old-fashioned and dates to World War 2 era military planes that employed coded messaging to differentiate them from enemy planes.
A locksmith can create a duplicate transponder for you if you are locked out and require a
replacement seat car Key. This is a little more complicated than simply rekeying a standard key, however, since the chip inside your new key needs to match with the car's receiver system. For this reason, getting the same transponder key again from a dealer is usually more expensive.
Laser Cut Keys
Unlike the standard mechanical cut keys, which only permit the key to rotate in only one direction and only in one direction, laser cut car keys have grooves cut out on both sides. They are more difficult to duplicate and can only be placed in the ignition or lock from either side. Also known as sidewinder keys, they are a step above the basic transponder keys/chip keys and offer greater security in the event of theft.
To create a laser key the locksmith first needs to recognize the cuts from the existing key fob to determine the kind of blank that needs to be used. The locksmith then has to set up the key cutting machine to cut the key in accordance with the initial cuts. This requires a much more sophisticated key cutting machine than traditional wheel-based duplicators available in hardware stores.
These keys are more expensive, but they offer greater security for your car. Laser keys are not duplicated using the same machines that make the regular edge-cut keys. This prevents the practice of "key-jumping," where a vehicle key is programmed for different vehicles and allows it to turn the lock or start the engine. These keys must be recovered by a professional locksmith or dealer.
