Frequently Asked Questions
How does a transponder key work?
A transponder key contains a small microchip that communicates with the vehicle’s immobiliser system. When inserted or turned, it sends a coded signal to verify access.
If the signal matches, the car starts. This technology prevents theft by ensuring only programmed keys can activate the ignition, adding an extra layer of protection to modern vehicles.
Can I get a new transponder key without going to a dealership?
Yes. Automotive locksmiths can supply, cut and program transponder keys without needing a dealership visit. They use specialised diagnostic tools to sync the key to your car’s immobiliser system.
The result is a fully functional key identical in performance to the original, often completed faster and at a lower cost than dealer options.
What if my transponder key isn’t being recognised by the car?
If your car doesn’t respond to the key, the transponder chip might have lost synchronisation, been damaged or developed a weak signal. A locksmith can test both the key and receiver to identify the issue, then reprogram or replace the faulty components.
In many cases, the problem can be fixed on-site in under an hour.
