Transponder Keys
People frequently ask us about “chip” or transponder keys. A transponder key contains an RFID tag, akin to those used in store security systems. This tag is embedded in the plastic head of the car key and functions by receiving and transmitting electronic codes. These codes can be fixed, encrypted, or rolling, depending on the car’s make, model, and year.
When you turn a transponder key in the ignition, the vehicle sends an electric pulse to the key, momentarily powering the transponder. The transponder then sends a digital signal back to an antenna in the car’s ignition. If this signal matches the code stored in the car’s immobilizer, the car will start. If the code doesn’t match, the car might crank but won’t continue running.

Smart Key Duplication & Programming
NYC Auto Locksmith can create a new key if you’ve lost all your keys and can duplicate any make and model of smart keys. We offer quick key duplication services that are more affordable than a dealership. We can come to your location and, in most cases, create your smart key on the spot.
Do you have a smart key for your vehicle? No worries! Our NYC Auto Locksmith professionals can duplicate almost any make and model of smart key. However, check with us before purchasing a key to program, as not all keys are compatible with all cars. We’re happy to provide a smart key that works for your car or recommend some you can buy yourself.
