The majority of keys to cars built after 1995 contain transponder chips. The transponder chips would enable the car's system as long as it is the right chip that is used, and will make sure that only the right key would make the car work.

Having more than one transponder keys is a good idea and practice since transponder key replacements are exceptionally costly. A local car dealership may prohibit car the car owner to get a new key from locksmith and may say that you can get the key only through them, which is not true at all. When a replacement is needed, a local car dealership or automotive locksmith can provide and program keys and remotes for you, but you can get a transponder from a locksmith in a much cheaper price. A professional locksmith or locksmith company have the right equipment and tools to cut and reprogram a transponder key. Auto locksmith companies are also available 24/7 to cut and program your transponder chip key.

Getting a new transponder chip key is not as simple as getting a metal blade key cut to match with your ignition cylinder. Transponder chip change requires that you acquire the unique microchip to be included with your car key and program it so that your automobile would distinguish it.
