What is a transponder key and how do I know if my car key has one?

A transponder key is a special computerized chip located inside of a car key. Its purpose is to identify a specific key for the corresponding car. Transponder keys also act as a security measure for the vehicle as the chips are purposely synchronized to activate the ignition. The ignition’s computer and the transponder coordinating is the only way the vehicle will start. Our Locksmiths are trained to use special machines that enable them to program your new key.
