Transponder keys are a type of car key that contain a small microchip that communicates with the vehicle’s immobilizer system. This system is designed to prevent unauthorized access to the car and acts as a security measure to deter theft. The microchip in the transponder key sends a signal to the immobilizer system when the key is inserted into the ignition, allowing the engine to start. Without the correct signal from the transponder key, the engine will not start, even if the key is turned.

Getting a copy of a transponder key can be a bit more complicated than getting a copy of a traditional key. Unlike a traditional key, a transponder key requires programming to work with your specific vehicle. This programming can only be done using specialized equipment that is typically only available to professional locksmiths or car dealerships.

Key Duplication

If you already have a working transponder key, getting a duplicate key made is a simple process. All you need to do is bring your original key to Desert Locksmith, and our team will be able to make a copy of the key. We will then use our specialized programming equipment to program the new key to work with your vehicle. This process typically takes just a few minutes, and you will be able to leave with a working duplicate key.

Car Key Replacement

If you have lost your original transponder key or it has stopped working, getting a replacement key can be a bit more complicated. In this case, you will need to provide some information about your vehicle to our locksmiths so that we can create a new key that will work with your car. This information typically includes the make and model of your vehicle, the year it was manufactured, and the VIN (vehicle identification number). Our team will then use this information to create a new transponder key that will work with your car’s immobilizer system.
