Transponder Keys
Basically, transponder keys have an embedded microchip that transmits a unique digital code to the vehicle. This code matches with an exact serial number on the computer system of the car. The car won't start without this match. This is an awesome technology that has drastically reduced the number of car thefts.
This amazing technology can be found in most cars built within the past 20 years. If you own an older vehicle it is still possible to have transponder keys. Beishir Lock and Security can cut a new key and program the chip for you at only a fraction of the cost of a dealership.
This technology was designed to reduce car theft. Prior to this, thieves could connect two wires on the ignition switch of the car to turn it on. The transponder technology can stop this from happening because the vehicle won't start when the correct code isn't sent to the car's immobilizer system.
The chip can be used to open trunks and doors without pressing an button. These "smart Audi fobs" have proximity sensors that activate when you are just a few feet away from the vehicle. The sensor will then send a signal to the vehicle to allow the doors and trunk to open and unlock.
One drawback of the transponder system is that it can be difficult to diagnose problems. If the key won't turn in the ignition most likely due to a bad battery. A simple DIY kit could be used to replace the battery however, most people prefer a professional to complete it. They can make sure that the task is completed quickly and efficiently.
