UNDERSTANDING YOUR KEY

Modern car access systems have indeed evolved significantly from traditional keys to sophisticated remote, transponder systems and proximity keys . Let's break down the components and functions of these modern car access devices:

Key: The key part of a modern car access system is often a physical component that resembles a traditional key. However, its function has evolved beyond just mechanical turning of the ignition. Modern keys often contain electronic components or RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) chips that communicate with the car's immobilizer system. These keys need to be physically inserted into the ignition or a designated slot to start the vehicle.
Transponder: A transponder is a small electronic device embedded within the key or remote. Its primary function is to transmit a unique code to the car's immobilizer system when the key is inserted into the ignition or when a button is pressed on the remote. This code is verified by the car's onboard computer, allowing the engine to start if the code matches the one stored in the system's memory.
Remote: The remote part of a modern car access system allows for keyless entry and remote vehicle operation. It typically consists of buttons that perform functions such as locking and unlocking the doors, opening the boot, and activating/deactivating the car alarm system. The remote communicates wirelessly with the car's onboard computer using radio frequency signals or other wireless communication protocols.

The above three components work together seamlessly to provide convenient and secure access to the vehicle.

Proximity keys: Proximity keys are now becoming the new normal in car keys. The proximity remote part of a modern car access system allows for keyless entry and remote vehicle operation without removing your key from pocket or bag. There is normally a button on the door handle, or you can just pull the door handle to open the car and then the ignition can be push to start or twist knob to start. The remote communicates wirelessly with the car's onboard computer using radio frequency signals or other wireless communication protocols.

Don’t wait until your key fails you or you lose the only one you have, at the worst possible moment! Our team specialises in efficient and hassle-free transponder key replacement.
