Transponder Keys

Unlike flat metal keys that operate mechanically with cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip embedded in their key heads. When inserted into a car that has transponder technology, the chip transmits a low-level signal to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to send this signal, it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips were developed to protect cars from theft This is the reason they are present in a majority of modern vehicles.

Transponder technology first came into use in World War II, when encoded messages were sent over radio frequencies to determine if the aircraft that was incoming was friendly or hostile.

Proximity keys

Proximity keys are the latest keyless entry solutions, which are gaining popularity on a variety vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle with the key fob, which is kept in their purse or pocket.

A locksmith or a dealership will have to replace it, and this can be expensive. Batteries also provide power to the fobs. So they'll need to be replaced periodically.
