Beazer Are Your Lock And Key Experts.
Frequently the owner of a car will call us because they need to have a car key made finding that his/her key has a transponder chip. Perhaps the key turns but the ignition doesn't start. Why? A transponder key needs to be programmed in order to work with its vehicle. The transponder chip is a radio transmitter hidden in the key that “talks” to the car’s computer through a wireless system confirming that the original key is in the ignition. After the confirmation is done the computer lets the coil give the spark starting your car. There are many different transponder chips and each one needs to be programmed to match the specific car. The only way to do this is by having a locksmith program the key or taking the vehicle to the dealership. Either way both need the vehicle present.
