Transponder Keys

Transponder keys are commonly found in automobiles manufactured in the past 20 years. The key's head includes a transponder within it. When the key is inserted into the ignition, an antenna ring transmits radio frequency energy. The chip responds by generating an identification code. This message is relayed to the vehicle's immobilizer and when the correct code is in place the engine will begin to run.

If the correct code does not exist the immobilizer will be deactivated and stop the vehicle from beginning. Transponder keys help to prevent car theft by adding an additional layer of security.

Remote Fobs

Once you've managed to pry the case open, you'll need find an appropriate replacement battery that will fit within the space available. Fortunately, most of these batteries are readily available at auto parts stores as well as some supermarkets.

Once you've replaced the battery, you'll have to rebuild the key fob. To avoid damage to the shell, pull the fob's cover open at several points using a flat-blade screwdriver. Then, you can snap the fob back together, and test its buttons. You're done if everything is in order!

The key fob must be "programmed again" to transmit the digital identity code to car's onboard computers. This procedure differs for each car model and year. It usually involves holding buttons or levers while activating the power.

Some retailers, such as locksmiths and automotive parts stores, will program aftermarket fobs purchased on the internet.
