Transponder Keys
A transponder key comes with an embedded chip that connects to the car's computer on board. This is a crucial component of your car because it adds an extra layer of security against theft. The majority of cars that have been built since 1995 come with this feature, and it's essential to know how to use them effectively.
There are several kinds of transponder keys you can get for your vehicle, including rolling and fixed code. Fixed code transponders have a unique code and cannot be duplicated. Transponders with rolling code on the other hand have their codes changed each time they are used. This makes it difficult for anyone to copy your car keys. This is the main reasons people choose this type.
While transponder car keys offer several security benefits but it can be more expensive than traditional metal keys. The added security is worth the extra cost. It is essential to remember to go to an authorized dealer should you lose your key.
If you have transponder keys it's essential to keep it dry. If you are kayaking or swimming, make sure you ensure that it is out of water and heat. If your key fob becomes wet, take the batteries off and clean them using paper towels.
Remote Keys
Some vehicles come with remote keyless entry that allows access to the trunk and doors with no physical key. To do this, drivers put their keys in their pockets, and then move one meter from the door handle or trunk, and push the Request Switch. The car senses this signal and responds by either unlocking the doors or opening the trunk. When the driver returns to their car and presses the Request Switch again to lock it, or turn on the engine, if inside the cabin.
The keys transmit a code of 40 bits when they're pressed. The receiver in the car is looking for the code to determine the best course of action. If a person finds your key fob in a purse or bag, they can "capture" the code, then retransmit it and then unlock the car, even in the event that the original transmitter's battery is dead. To stop this from happening, some automobile makers have added a mechanical key to the key fob that can be used if the electronic key isn't working.
Another hidden function of some keys to cars is the capability to lower all windows and open the sunroof with a single button. This is especially useful on hot days. This feature isn't normally listed, but can be activated by pressing the unlock button on the fob of a key at least six times in less than 10 seconds.
Keyless Entry Keys
Modern key fobs may also have an electronic key that allows you to open and start the car even when the battery is dead. To remove the key, just press or move a release knob or button on the fob, and pull. Reinstalling it is just as easy as doing the opposite. This method is not as user-friendly as a remote, making it hard to lend or share your car.
Certain key fobs include additional functions that can be activated by pressing a number of buttons. For instance, you can roll down all the windows or open the sunroof by pressing just one button. This feature is available on key fobs of Volvo SUVs and Ford trucks, for example. It's not always marked but can be activated by pressing the lock and unlock button on the key fob at the same time (within 10 second) while pressing the unlock button until all windows are opened up or the sunroof has been opened.
Certain car makers, like Tesla and Hyundai--use keyless entry, which isn't fob-based. Instead you can use a smartphone application to lock or unlock your vehicle. These kinds of systems are also known as digital keys or phone-as-key applications and are generally less expensive than traditional key fobs. But they can have their own problems. For instance, many of these apps aren't protected enough to shield your car's data from hackers.
