Programming is a norm for modern keys nowadays. Keys that are ‘smart’ or ‘remote’ maybe give away why they need to be programmed. Modern keys of today are greatly different from the traditional keys of old. Where traditional keys are simply metal objects cut delicately into a key, modern keys are a massive upgrade. Car manufacturers saw the flaws of traditional keys in terms of security, car theft was much easier then. With the number of technological advancements throughout the decade, car manufacturers saw a chance to enhance the security of their products. Now, modern keys are fit with electronics that make it more secure for their car owner.
Modern keys vary in type, there are transponder keys, remote keys, and keyless entry keys or also known as ‘smart keys’. They vary from their electronic devices inside the key. If you want to know more about the different types of modern keys, we made an article detailing the types of modern keys and their costs, “Replacement Key Cost”. In general, transponder keys are keys with a transponder chip. This chip emits a signal when placed in the ignition, when the ignition receives the signal it will authenticate it and start the car. Remote keys are designed to unlock a car from afar with a press of a button. The same goes for keyless entry keys, the difference between them is that it has a code randomizer that transmits a randomize code that the car authenticates. This makes it more difficult for car theft to happen.
