Replace Your Chip Car Key TodayHow Does Your Transponder Key Work?
A transponder key—also known as a chip key—is a security feature that prevents unauthorized vehicle operation. A microchip containing a unique code is embedded within your key’s plastic head. When inserted into your ignition, your key’s chip communicates with your vehicle’s immobilizer system, which only allows your engine to start when this code matches.
A transponder car key provides an extra layer of security, ensuring that duplicate keys or other methods of starting your vehicle are unsuccessful. They make it possible to ignite your engine only with the one set of specialized keys.

How Do You Duplicate Car Keys With Chips?
To duplicate car keys with chips, we examine information about your vehicle’s make, year, and model and learn more about its onboard security system to select a new key type compatible with its immobilizer. Then, we cut the physical part of your new key to match your existing key’s grooves.
Next is programming. We used advanced technology to program your transponder so your vehicle’s computer system recognizes it. When we finish this step, we test your new key several times to ensure it functions as expected.
What Information Should You Bring for Transponder Chip Key Replacement?
We’ll need to verify your vehicle ownership before making your transponder chip key replacement.
