Transponder keys
What are transponders ?
A transponder is a small electronic device
that is embedded in the head of your key. When your
vehicle starts it looks for the signal emitted from that
transponder and if it recognizes it the vehicle will not cut
power to the engine.
Key cloning
We are able to copy these keys with a special piece of
equipment called a key cloner. This machine reads the
signal from your original key and copies it on to a blank key.
As far as your vehicle knows, the original and the new key
are one and the same.
What brands of car keys can you clone ?
90% of cars today have keys that can be cloned, as software
updates and hardware upgrades become available the list
of cars grows.
