TRANSPONDER IS SHORT FOR TRANSMITTER AND RESPONDER
Transponder is short for transmitter and
responder. Therefore, transponder keys contain an
electronic microchip built into the head by the
manufacturer. Microchip is designed to transmit
low-level signals to remote receivers installed
in the car. Each chip built into the key has a
unique serial number that must be recognized by
the car's RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)
before it can be unlocked or started.

Why Transponder Key is Preferred and More Secure

• Transponder keys are designed to use a digital
  serial number, which is virtually unique to
  unlock each car.
• This is the reason why it provides a high level
  of protection for the vehicles. With the use of a
  transponder key, you will have the comfort that
  your car is virtually secure as it will be
  difficult for thieves to 'hot wire' or break your
  vehicle's ignition.
• When compared with a traditional key that has
  some standard cut combinations that the thief can
  manipulate, it is highly preferred because
  without the car receiving the correct signal, it
  will not open.
• Therefore, it is nearly impossible for someone
  else's transponder key or after-market copy
  without the exact digital ID to open your car.

How to Know If You Have Transponder Key

• Identify the two key parts of your key, the blade
  and bow - which is a flattened piece that can be
  compared to the head of the key. If the bow is
  covered or coated with several layers of tin foil
  or a rubber shell which is usually black, then
  there is every chance that you have a transponder
  key.
• Another way to make sure you have a transponder
  key is by trying to open the head to look for the
  chip that's built inside. However, you need to be
  extremely careful not to touch or damage the
  chip.
• You can also look up the model of your car on the
  Internet, and of course, the manufacturer will
  state whether the key is a transponder in the
  security section.
