Transponder keys, or chip keys, are car keys that are equipped with RFID (radio frequency identification) chips. These chips are placed inside car keys' plastic heads and render hot-wiring ineffective.
In 1985, General Motors introduced the first chip keys in order to combat car theft. Today, almost every new car is sold with transponder keys.
Millions of people lose their car keys every year. Fortunately, replacing your lost key doesn't have to be stressful or cost too much. Let the professionals at Keyway Lock Service help.
