Unfortunately, if a car owner misplaces his or her key fob, or wants to make an extra copy, the dealership may claim that they have proprietary rights over the device, and, as such, only they can make a copy, and program it, which comes with an absurd fee. In reality, however, while creating a new key fob, as well as programming it to work with your car, may require the assistance of a professional, a skilled locksmith can aid you with this effort without requiring you to head back to the dealership for help.

But Wait – is it Against the Law to Make a New Key Fob without the Dealer’s Permission?

Some dealers may even assert that creating a new key fob is against the law if this task is not performed by a licensed operator. But while this may be the case with a leased or rented car, it is likely within your rights to make as many copies as you would like with the help of a professional.

And getting a key fob programmed to operate with your car is certainly not an extensive task, either. While you should not attempt to make a copy yourself, with the help of a professional locksmith you can have a new key fob in relatively short order.

Automotive Transponder Key Replacement

What Is A Transponder Key?

Most of us at some point had no idea what a transponder key was, I know I didn’t until I worked for a locksmith. Inside every transponder key is a chip, that chip is programmed with an embedded code. When the key is turned to start the car, the car scans the transponder key to see if the code matches what’s stored in it’s computer. If the code matches, the car starts… if it doesn’t I guess you’ll be walking! Unless you got that spare key your parents told you to get a thousand times, but well get back to that later.

What’s The Purpose Of A Transponder Key?

The last thing any of us want is to hit the snooze buttone too many times, and as we come running out.. the cars gone. The main reason for chipped keys is to prevent auto theft. Before chipped keys anyone could easily steal, copy, or reproduce your key easily. Luckily, today it requires in-depth expertise, and equipment to make these keys. So that means you better have a trusted locksmith saved in your phone since Walmart and Lowes can’t help you with this one.

Your transponder key comes with your car from the factory. It has a special built in programmed micro chip installed in it which works with a code. The code, more commonly known as the serial number is installed in the chip which is then embedded into the transponder key. When it’s inserted in the ignition, the electrical engine control unit will scan the code on the chip, and if it matches with the serial number programmed into its system, then only will the car start. If the ECU cannot validate the code, the car will not start which makes it all the more protected, and secure.

A transponder key for your car means more security, and theft protection but it also means some good amount of money. When such systems come built in with your cars they are relatively cheaper but if you want to get it installed in your older cars, it means spending a few hundred dollars. Also when a transponder key gets lost or breaks, it is extremely expensive to replace it. Usually a new system has to be installed, and it can be quite costly. You can always contact the manufacturing company of the car to get your new chip but that will mean will have to go through a tiresome process of customer complaint and company’s usual routine before they can come replace it for you or get you a new one. The easier process is to summon a good, and reliable locksmith that can do the work for you. Some good locksmith companies have expert technicians who know how to work with the technology, and can replace yours for you within no time.  However when getting locksmith services for the replacement of your transponder key you need to be sure that their services are reliable, and you will not be putting your cars at risk by revealing your lock-code numbers to them.

How Do Transponder Keys Work

The way transponder key programming works involves a microchip that resides in the top of the key. This microchip has a serial number, which a transponder key programmer has made unique to that 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.

When buying a vehicle that includes transponder keys, it’s a good idea to have at least two keys. Sometimes keys are lost, so having a second valid, programmed transponder key is important.

If replacement transponder keys are needed, they can usually be made by a vehicle dealer or locksmith. Dealers generally charge about a 300% profit margin, while locksmiths can usually cut and program the key for 50% less than the dealership.

It may be possible for a driver to program his or her own blank keys, but the process can vary by car. Feel free to call us, and ask if your car falls within this category.
