Transponder Keys

Transponder keys are equipped with an embedded chip that communicates with the on-board computer of your car.

The majority of automobiles produced since 1995 include this feature, and it's vital to know how to use them correctly.

Remote Keys

Certain cars come with remote keyless entry that unlocks the trunk and doors without having a physical key. To accomplish this, the driver puts their key in their pocket and walks within a distance of around one meter to the door handle or trunk, from where they hit the Request Switch. The car recognizes the signal and responds by unlocking the doors or opening the trunk. When the driver returns to the car, they press the Request Switch again to lock it, or start the engine, if they're inside the car.

The keys transmit a 40-bit code each time they're pressed. The receiver in the car looks for the code to determine what action to take. If someone happens to find your key fob in a purse or bag, they can "capture" the code, then retransmit it and open the car, even in the event that the original transmitter's power source is dead. To stop this, a few automakers have added a physical key to the key fob which can be used in the event that the electronic key isn't working.

Another hidden benefit of keys for cars is the ability to lower all windows and open the sunroof by pressing just a single click. This is particularly useful during hot days.

However, this method doesn't offer the same functionality as a remote key and it makes it difficult to lend or share your vehicle.

Some key fobs have extra functions that can be activated by pressing several buttons, like the possibility of rolling down all windows or open a sunroof with one button. This feature is found on the key fobs of Volvo SUVs and Ford trucks, for instance. It's not typically labeled, however, it could be activated by pressing the locks and unlock buttons on the fob simultaneously (within 10 seconds) while holding down the unlock button until all windows are opened or the sunroof opens.

Certain carmakers, like Tesla and Hyundai--use keyless entry that isn't fob-based. Instead you can use a smartphone application to lock or unlock your car. These are also known as digital keys or key apps for phones and are typically cheaper than traditional fobs. However, they do have their own issues. For instance that many apps aren't secure enough to protect your vehicle's data from hackers.
