Types of Car Keys If you've come across without your car keys, take a deep breath and try to remain calm. Double-check the immediate area for your keys and retrace your steps to pinpoint where you have lost them. If you're having trouble finding your keys, we will create a duplicate key for you. This will give you the key to unlock your car and start it manually. Keyless Entry Certain older models and newer models come with keyless entry. This feature lets you unlock your car without having to insert a key or press the door handle. Some of the most advanced systems also include remote keyless ignition (RKI) that allows you to start your engine and activate ten electronic accessories. These systems rely on radio waves which are broadcast by your vehicle and received by the receiver within the key fob. The key fob will send signals when you press the button on the handle or place your hands on it. This signal is then followed by the receiver of the vehicle. Some of the most modern keyless entry systems for automobiles are equipped with advanced technology. This lets you control these systems via either a mobile application or cloud management system. This makes them easier to manage if have maintenance or guests who require access to the vehicles or buildings on your property. While these systems are extremely practical, they do have their own drawbacks. Some of the most serious drawbacks are related to security. If your key is lost inside the car while you are inside the vehicle, it will not be able to transmit its signal and you won't have the ability to unlock or start the vehicle. There are many manufacturers that have systems to warn you if the key is running out, but they're not foolproof. Transponder Keys One of the most commonly used types of car keys is transponder key (also called chip keys) that work with microchips embedded in the head of your car key. The microchip transmits a low level signal to the receiver in your car, which only matches the digital serial number assigned by the manufacturer. This is to prevent unauthorized duplicates of your keys, so that only you can start your car. These kinds of keys are more difficult to copy and are also less likely to be stolen. They are more expensive than flat metal ones, but they can save you a significant amount of money if they are found by an locksmith who is able to program them into your vehicle. While they provide an abundance of security however, they can be easily played with and may cause damage. They should not be left around in a secure place where they are not accessible to small hands. They could also pose risky if placed in water or dropped or a pool. Some require batteries which can make them unsafe to leave in the home. Most of the time, a qualified locksmith is able to duplicate these keys and have them reprogrammed for you. This can be done for a fraction of what you'd pay for a dealership and is also more efficient. Keys that Fold Keys Certain cars can have keys that fold. G28 is folded into the body of the plastic, making it easier to store and more compact. Keys like these are becoming increasingly sought-after, particularly because they are less prone than other keys to be damaged by water or heat. They are also less difficult to clone than other types of keys, which makes them a safer option. They're not the most convenient but they'll work in the event that you've lost your regular car keys. They are also less expensive to replace as compared to transponder keys, making them an excellent choice for those who want to save money on security features of their vehicle. Silca-Proximity and Remote Car Keys are available for a number of different models. They are ready to be programmed using the PCB, transponder and emergency or flip blade included. They can be programmed with advanced diagnostics equipment. They are packaged separately in a plastic shell to allow easy identification. These are great for replacing a damaged key or worn-out case on remotes. However, they do NOT contain the internal electronics (include immobilizer/transponder chip)unit inside so please be sure you are buying a complete car key before purchasing! Mechanical Keys Modern cars do not use mechanical keys. Instead, they utilize an RFID chip that is embedded into keys to identify them and communicate with the car's system to start and operate. A mechanical key is able to unlock the doors and fuel cap but if it's not been programmed to communicate with the car, it won't start. The system employs LF (low frequency of 125 kHz) transmitting antennas both inside and outside the vehicle, that communicate with the smart key. If the key is close enough to trigger one of these antennas, it sends its ID back to the car through RF (radio frequency >300 MHz). The PASE module checks the key's authenticity and turns off the immobilizer, which allows the vehicle to start. A backup mechanical method is also available in the event that the battery in the smart key runs down or fails. A lot of manufacturers conceal the mechanical blade that is used for emergency purposes behind the cover to protect it from design. The majority of vehicles equipped that have smart-key systems include an emergency starting system that requires inserting dead keys into a slot, or holding it close to an area on dashboard that will charge it with inductive charging.
