Thanks to modern technology, new cars & vans now come with keys that are more advanced and more secure. Equipped with electronic chips, these keys are programmed by the manufacturer to exclusively work on a particular unit model. There are two types of keys: transponder keys, and remote keys.
Both keys, with the help of radio frequency, can be used to unlock and start your automobile. However, transponder keys can be “key-less”, and can actually lock, unlock, and start the engine without a physical mechanism. All it needs is the programmed chip that comes with it. On the other hand, remote keys are only equipped with a remote-control unit, separately mounted on the head of the key.
Usually, remote car keys are battery operated. If the remote ceases to function, the traditional key can still be used.
