Replace or Duplicate a Transponder key
Grand Rapids MI

A transponder key is equipped with a transponder chip. These keys were introduced in the late 1990's as an anti-theft solution.. You cannot always tell if your car has a transponder key because it is very small and hidden in the head of the key.

With most transponder keys, the black plastic head of the key is thicker to accommodate the chip, but not always.

Transponder keys are more expensive because the new key has to be programmed to communicate with the vehicle's on board computer. The programming equipment needed to complete this procedure is very expensive. Car dealerships and some locksmiths are equipped with this special programming equipment.

If the key is not programmed properly to communicate with you car's on board computer, the car will not start. Or, if it starts it will only run for a few seconds and shut down.
