Transponder Keys

Unlike flat metal keys that are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip within their key heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle that has transponder technology, the chip sends low-level signals to a receiver situated close to the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start, when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips were designed to protect cars from theft which is why they are found in the majority of modern cars.

Transponder technology was first introduced during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted on radio frequencies to determine whether the aircraft that was incoming was friendly or hostile. The same idea was later applied to keys for cars in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in the year 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they've become present on all new vehicles, and can also be retrofitted to older models.

If you use a conventional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys, you'll have to be within a certain distance of the car to activate it.

Despite these limitations they are a great innovation for those who wish to prevent locking themselves out of their cars. In the event of an emergency, make sure you have an emergency key with you if you own a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop A Lock store to inquire about services and costs.
