Transponder Keys NJ

Most cars being produced today feature a transponder key. This key is an added security measure against car theft. Transponder is a combination of the word transmitter and responder. A transponder chip disarms a vehicle immobilizer when the car key is used to start the engine. The majority of cars produced after 1995 feature this type of key. When the car key is turned in the ignition, the engine control unit sends a message to the key that allows the car to start, provided it receives the correct message back.

  This makes replacing a transponder key more intricate than traditional keys. For simple car keys with out a key fob, the key must be cut correctly and programmed correctly, which requires special equipment. Dealerships know how intricate these keys are and realize most consumers will go to the dealership first for a replacement key. The price can vary depending on the key, key fob and the make of the car. What most people don't know is that any professional locksmith is capable of duplicating any transponder key and at a greatly reduced rate than the dealership offers.

  At Accurate Locksmith we clone, cut and program the transponder keys ourselves. Because of our expertise and specialty equipment, our NJ transponder key service is not only less expensive than a dealership, but also quicker.
