These are keys that have an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification. In other words and ID for your key. This is kept in the head of the key. These types of keys have become standard in the vehicle manufacturing industry.

You may need to have your key reprogrammed for one of the following reasons:

• A New Car Key: Once a new car key blade is cut the remote & immobiliser need to be programmed inorder to enable the engine and remote control features into operation.
• Programming Error: The transponder and the vehicles programs need to be in sync in order to restore the full use of its functions.
• Lost or Stolen: An auto locksmith technician would be able to reprogram a new car key with new coding in order to prevent thieves from using your stolen, or lost keys to access your vehicle.
• Battery: Sometimes after replacing the batteries on the fob key or the transponder, the key needs to be reprogrammed. This is proving to be most common in newer car models.
• Water damage: We know to try key all electric gadgets out away from water. If a key transponder or fob has accidentally dropped into water, (if not airtight) it will cause corrosion to the wiring inside the case which may end its ability to communicate with the vehicle.
