Transponder Keys
A transponder key has an embedded chip that communicates with the car's computer on board. This is a vital component of your car because it adds an extra layer of security that can prevent theft. This feature is available on almost all cars manufactured from 1995 onwards. It's important to know how to use it.
You can choose between rolling and fixed code for your transponder key. Fixed code transponders come with a fixed code that cannot be copied, whereas rolling code transponders update their codes each time they're used. This makes it difficult for anyone to copy your car key. It's one of the primary reasons people select this type.
Transponder keys can be more expensive than a traditional metal key, even though it has many benefits for security. The added security is worth the extra cost. The most important thing to remember is that in the event that you lose your car keys then you'll need to visit a licensed dealer to replace it.
If you have transponder keys, it's important to keep it dry. Avoid the contact with heat or water and keep it in a safe bag when you're going to the water or kayaking. If your key fob becomes wet, take the batteries off and clean them off with paper towels.
Remote Keys
Certain cars have remote keyless entry that allows the doors and trunk to be opened without the use of a physical key. To do this, motorists put their keys in their pockets and walk a distance of one centimeter from the door or trunk where they hit the Request Switch. The car senses the signal and responds that unlocks the doors or opens the trunk. When the driver returns to their vehicle they can use the Request Switch to lock the vehicle or start the engine if they are inside.
The keys transmit a 40-bit code each time they are pressed, and the receiver in the car searches for that code to determine what action to take. If someone stumbles across your key fob, it is possible to "capture", retransmit, and even open the car, even if the key is dead. thekeylab.co.uk have added an extra mechanical key to their key fobs, which can be used in the event that the electronic key fails to work.
One of the hidden features of some car keys allows you to open the sunroof as well as roll down all windows with one button. This is especially useful on hot days. This feature is generally not identified, but it can be activated when you press the unlock button six times in 10 seconds.
Keyless Entry Keys
Certain modern key fobs contain a mechanical key in the interior, allowing you unlock and start your car even if the battery fails. To remove the key from the fob simply press or move the release knob or button and pull. Reinstalling it is as simple as doing the opposite. But, this method doesn't provide the same convenience as a remote key and it makes it difficult to lend or share your vehicle.
Certain key fobs come with additional functions that can be activated by pressing a few buttons. For example, you can roll down all the windows or open the sunroof using only one button. This function is available on the key fobs of Volvo SUVs and Ford trucks, for example. It's not always marked however it can be activated by pressing the lock and unlock buttons on the key fob in tandem (within 10 seconds) while holding the unlock button down until all windows are rolled up or the sunroof has been opened.
A few carmakers--such as Tesla and Hyundai--use keyless entry, which isn't fob-based. Instead you can use a smartphone application to lock or unlock your car. These are referred to as digital keys or key apps for phones and are generally less expensive than traditional fobs. However, they may have some issues of their own. For instance, many of these apps aren't secure enough to protect your vehicle's data from hackers.
Key Cutting
Keys are frequently employed to secure valuable items, which makes them an ideal target for thieves. There are methods to prevent this. One option is to make spare keys available to give the home owner access without having to use the original key. This is helpful for people who work at home or share a home with others.
If you're looking to duplicate an existing key or make an entirely new key we can assist. We have a precise key cutting machine that will make a exact replica of the key that you bring into. We can also add the transponder chip to your key if it does not already have one.
The process of cutting a key involves measuring the original key and the blank to ensure they are of the same length. After the key has been measured and the machine is set to begin cutting the new key. It is important that you only make use of a machine that is properly maintained and operated by certified professionals since there are very high error rates when using key machines.
A key cutter that has not been maintained correctly can result in inaccurate cuts, and eventually a broken key. Our skilled professionals will know exactly how to manage the key cutting process and make sure that the new keys are of the correct length and that they have the right grooves in the blade to work with the key fob.
