The signal is activated when the key is within range of the vehicle and is unique to that vehicle. It also contains a chip with a digital serial number, making it difficult for duplicates or thieves to get the keys to your car.
The chips cannot be read by scanners, which is why you'll need to call a locksmith to get a replacement transponder key if you have lost it. The procedure of programming a transponder chip requires specialized tools that the average car locksmith doesn't have.

These devices can be used to lock or unlock the car, turn off the ignition, as well as activate the lighting of the vehicle.
The keyless entry system is based on the transmitter inside the fob as well as the receiver inside the car to exchange a special code that's unique to each vehicle. Because of this, it is important to get your fob programmed if you've got new keys or need to replace a battery in your current fob or you lose your key fob.
