Automotive security has changed dramatically in the last several years. We have gone from the era when there were only 2000+ key combinations used for every car of the largest auto manufacturer, to transponder controlled ignition systems, that change electronic codes each time you start your car. From the 30’s to the 60’s it was somewhat common that you might know someone whose car key also fit your car. Today just to obtain a duplicate key for your car, can be difficult and expensive.

What are transponder controlled systems and how do they work? The technology, it may surprise you is really quite old. A “transponder” is in essence a combination radio frequency receiver and transmitter. It transmits a radio signal or binary code that can be picked up by another receiver, if the codes or signals match, then some action is allowed. Transponder technology has been used for many years, and is still used today for aviation control. The miniaturization of electronics now allows a transponder to be placed in the head of your car key, this transponder transmits a specific code that is received by a receiver in the dashboard of your car, if they match, you can start your car.

If you lost or damaged your transponder key, call Locksmith Guelph to make and reprogram a new one for you. Call us 24/7!
