Transponder Keys

Keys for cars these days are getting more complex and expensive to buy from the car dealers.  Many keys have Remote buttons built into the head of the key.  Some have Flip out key blades and Keys that are milled out and cant be cut on a regular key cutting machine.  Some have no key at all and just work on a proximity signal.

However your car key looks it will have a transponder system that your car computer will have to recognize before it will switch on essential systems.  The transponder key works on a challenge - Response  system.  The car sends out a signal to the key and the the key will send back a response signal to tell the car weather or not it is the correct key.

Many of these keys can be duplicated.  There are two main ways to duplicate these car keys.  One is to clone the chip.  When cloning an exact copy of the code on the chip inside the key is made and transferred to a new key.  The second way is to program the car computer to accept a new key.  Some cars are made to do this easily by performing a sequence of steps inside the car.  Some cars require a diagnostic device to be connected to program a new key.
