Key programming is the process of creating a new key for a vehicle or programming an existing key to work with a specific car. In this blog, we'll take a closer look at how key programming works, as well as the different types of keys and programming methods available. Types of Keys: There are several types of keys used for modern cars, each with its own unique features and benefits. Some of the most common types of keys include: • Transponder keys: Transponder keys contain a microchip that communicates with the car's immobilizer system. This system prevents the car from starting unless it recognizes the signal from the transponder chip. • Smart keys: Smart keys are key fobs that communicate wirelessly with the car's immobilizer system. These keys typically have a push-button start feature and can be programmed to perform other functions, such as unlocking doors and opening the trunk. • Remote keys: Remote keys are similar to smart keys but typically do not have a push...
Remote keyless systems have become an increasingly common feature in modern automobiles. These systems allow drivers to lock and unlock their cars from a distance, as well as open and close windows and even start the engine. In this blog, we'll take a closer look at how remote keyless systems work, as well as their benefits and potential security risks. How Remote Keyless Systems Work: A remote keyless system typically consists of two components: a key fob and a receiver module in the car. The key fob contains a small radio transmitter that sends a signal to the receiver module when the driver presses a button on the fob. The receiver module then uses the signal to perform the desired action, such as unlocking the doors or starting the engine. The radio signal used by remote keyless systems is typically in the form of a low-frequency radio wave, such as 315 MHz or 433 MHz. When the driver presses a button on the key fob, the transmitter sends a unique code to the receiver modul...
