How to Find a Car Key Locksmith
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It can be a frustrating experience to lose your car keys. Some people go to the dealer to obtain an alternative car key, but this can be expensive.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Locksmiths who are certified can create new keys for your car without the original key. This is possible due to modern technology used in cars that use transponder chips.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Transponder Keys
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The majority of modern automobiles make use of a kind of key called a transponder key. This adds a layer of security to make it difficult for thieves to take vehicles. They're much more difficult to duplicate since they contain a microchip inside the key that emits an unintentional radio signal that authenticates the key. The signal is activated only when the key is within a specific distance of the car. Your car will not start if the signal isn't received. This feature is an excellent method to avoid hotwiring.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To create a duplicate transponder key, locksmiths in the automotive industry will need to program the microchip in the new key to be identical to the original. This requires a specific tool to communicate with the car to verify that the unique serial number of the chip is saved in the database. Once the key is programmed, you are able to use it to unlock doors and switch on the ignition. Some locksmiths can program the key on-site, while others require the transponder code of the vehicle's computer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Certain car brands, like Chevy and Ford do not require special tools to program their keys. They can be programmed using an on-board programming process (OBP). It is possible to bring your key fob in to be repaired if you own an OBP key.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you're not able to get your key fob repaired, an automotive locksmith can typically provide replacement keys at a lower cost. Transponder keys can be more expensive than traditional bladed keys due to the fact that they contain an additional piece.

Smart Keys
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A smart key is a car key equipped with a microchip that lets drivers unlock and start their cars without inserting the physical key. These keys are usually shaped like plastic cards and operate with wireless technology. The rolling codes ensure that the code transmitted by each key is in line with the code on the car. This makes it much more difficult for thieves to copy the signal and enter your vehicle.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Smart keys are available on a wide range of modern automobiles, which is an excellent convenience. The biggest disadvantage is that replacing the keys in the event that they become lost or damaged could be extremely expensive. A replacement key from a dealership can cost up to $220 and isn't always feasible. In this situation, it's often quicker and easier to call an experienced locksmith.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Automotive locksmiths are able to program a brand new smart key or FOB, and typically, much more quickly than dealerships. They can accomplish this by connecting a computer to software specifically designed to program keys for cars and then plugging it into the OBD port that is located under your dashboard. This allows them to enter the programming mode and alter the information so that the new key can match up with the code stored on the computer in your car.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Smart key technology is not only more convenient, but it is also safer for drivers and their passengers. A stolen smart key can be wiped out, so that it no longer works and is unable to open or start your car. A traditional key that's stolen can be easily copied by a criminal, and you may end having a second vehicle.

In fact, you can save money by avoiding the dealership and calling a locksmith in Brooklyn.
