Car Key Cutting Explained
Car key cutting is more than simply shaping a piece of metal. It is a complex process that guarantees security, efficiency, and longevity of the keys.
It is not uncommon to lose your car keys or even have it break in the lock. To ensure that you can always drive your car you'll require a replacement key cut.
Transponder Keys
If your car key cutting and programming was constructed in the past 20 years, it is likely to have transponder chips. These microchips are located in the key's handle and transmit a signal your vehicle's onboard computers when you turn the key. The computer in the car checks the digital serial number of the chip before giving the car permission to start. This prevents thieves from stealing your car since they'd need to know the unique serial number.
The microchip in the key transmits a low-level signal to the receiver within the car. The radio signal activates the microchip, and it then sends an informational code to the car's onboard computer. The car will recognize the code and only allow it to start when the key is the correct one. This prevents "hot wiring" or other methods of stealing cars.
Locksmiths that offer these services can make keys for cars that contain chips. They can also be purchased at a few automotive stores, such as AutoZone. They have a huge range of getting keys cut and can assist you in choosing the right one for your vehicle. They can even help you programme the chip into your vehicle, which is required to make it work.
There are also laser cut keys, which are more secure than conventional flat keys. They are more secure than traditional flat keys due to the fact that they have locks that are harder to pick. They can only be duplicated using expensive laser key cutting machines, or specialized software. This technology is most commonly found in high-end cars but is now accessible on many affordable models.
Another type of key for cars that is difficult to duplicate is the VATS (vehicle anti-theft system) key. The keys are black with a resistor in the key blade that is programmed with one of 15 possible values to prevent them from starting a vehicle that it's not meant to. These keys are more expensive to buy and require a specific key programming device that can only be found at some locksmiths.
VATS Keys
Before the days of transponder keys and automobiles equipped with computer chips that control the ignition of the car, GM used something called VATS (Vehicle Anti-Theft System). VATS utilizes a standard key with a resistor pellet embedded inside it to confirm that the correct key is used to start the car. The VATS pellet that is black in the middle of a VATS Key isn't a smart chip as used on the majority of modern keys. It is merely a block or carbon that is sized to provide an electrical resistance.
GM employed 15 different resistance values for the VATS pellets. They connected them to the key's blade so that when the key is turned on the ignition a coded signal will be sent to the module. If the signal is in line with that of the transistor in a VATS pellet, then the relay in the starter circuit will activate and the engine will start to run. This isn't a way to make a car secure from theft however it can delay the thief by at least 15 to 20 minutes.
After a prolonged period of usage the VATS module could start to wear out. The two wires that connect the ignition move each time a key is placed. As time passes the wires can begin to break. Once enough wires are broken, the signal is lost to the module and the car won't start.
You can solve this issue at home by decoding your VATS van key cutting. It's not hard to determine the resistance value of a key by using the multimeter. All you need to do is put one of the leads of your ohm meter on the prongs of metal that are visible on both sides of the key, and then read the ohm meter's display to find out the resistance value of your key.
This is a great opportunity to test a brand new key and see whether it will work in your vehicle. Remove the key from the ignition first before you test it. If not the key may have an incorrect VATS and will not work in your car.
Smart Key Fobs
Key fobs today are more than just unlock or start the vehicle. They also function as an alarm system and a security measure against theft, with many of them featuring advanced features that the owners might not be aware of. They can lock and unlock your door remotely and make chirping sounds to aid in locating your vehicle when you're in a hurry, or allow you to summon it by pressing a button. This is a lot more functionality than you get from a traditional keychain remote. However, all that additional capabilities also means that smart key fobs could be pricier to replace than traditional keychain remotes. They also need to be programmed by the dealer.
In fact, some retailers will charge up to $100 to replace one smart key fob. That's a huge sum to pay for a product that spends a lot of its time in purses and pockets where it can be easily damaged, dropped or exposed to moisture and extreme temperatures. Certain automakers have developed strategies to protect smart keyfobs from common electronic attacks, like relay attacks. They are typically employed in conjunction with a remote-start hack that allows thieves to gain access to the settings of your vehicle by sending an untrue signal from a nearby transmitter.
One method of protecting a smart key fob is to keep it in a metal case or use an RFID blocking case that blocks the transmission of these signals. However, having to take the key fob from a protective case every time you need to use it is not a good way to enjoy the benefits of the technology.
Fortunately, a few of the latest car insurance policies such as auto club memberships and extended warranty coverages will pay for the cost of replacing a fob or pay for the loss of a fob. You can also save money on new-car dealer charges and have your fob cut at an establishment like a locksmith or hardware store that offers key-fob cloning services.
The decision to purchase an additional fob is based on the importance of your car's keyless start and entry functions. In any event you should have an extra fob or key in case you lose yours. If you do need to purchase a replacement, Batteries Plus has a wide selection of fobs for the majority of cars and trucks. Additionally, we provide an efficient, quick service that costs roughly 50% less than what you'd pay at the dealership.
Traditional Keys
The traditional car key is made of a single piece of steel with a series of grooves cut into it. These grooves are made to fit specific locks. These keys can unlock your locks and start your car, provided you haven't replaced them by a remote key or smart key. The only drawback of using the traditional key is that it must be physically placed into the ignition in order to start the vehicle. If your car key is damaged or lost it is necessary to visit a Gainesville Locksmith to get a new one made.
You have a few choices to pick from based on how long it has been since you've were able to cut your keys. Certain keys are cut with mechanical machines, while others are laser-cut with enhanced security features.
Modern keys come with advanced features such as encryption and anti-theft mechanisms. Encryption ensures that only the right key can be used to open your vehicle which makes it harder for thieves to duplicate keys or pick locks. Transponder chips are an additional anti-theft feature. They are incorporated into the key and connect to your vehicle. This means that it can only work only when you're within certain distance.
If you choose to use a traditional, standard key cutting cost, a locksmith is able to make a new one using a standard key cutter machine which can be purchased at many hardware stores. This is less expensive than using an electronic key fob or transponder key, and you'll still be able to use your doors, locks and trunk.
Another option is to have your traditional car key replaced with a laser cut version with a unique pattern. These keys were first introduced in the 1990s and have become a popular choice for those who wish to secure their automobiles. Keys made of lasers are typically equipped with transponder chip that is programmed to only work with your vehicle. If these chips aren't present in your vehicle it won't be able to respond to the signals emanating from the key and won't be able to start.
