Program Car Key Portland

Over 2 decades ago, car keys were simple enough to unlock the doors of a vehicle and start it without using anything fancy, just a simple metal key that sometimes had a plastic cover on the head of it. However, with technology progressing this past couple of decades, transponder car keys have emerged to improve the security of a vehicle. The vehicle’s transponder system consist of a chip inside the actual car key. The transponder chip allows communication between the key and the vehicle’s on-board computer once it is inserted into the ignition cylinder. This was intended to prevent theft using hot-wiring or different theft methods. If your car is equipped with a transponder system, starting it would be impossible with just a traditional metal key even if it was cut and duplicated using the original key. However, even when you get a replacement key which is a transponder, but only duplicate the cuts of it, it would still not start the car unless an automotive locksmith will go through program car key procedure.
