The remote car key, also known as the smart key, utilizes a transponder inside the head to communicate with the immobiliser of the car and allows it to start once you insert the key. Customers love these keys because they are practical and reliable. Keys can also be dropped, squeezed, or thrown, in contrast to the old flip-key types that are no longer used.
However, it is important to keep in mind that if your key isn't able to start your car, the issue is most likely due to the immobiliser system that is in the vehicle and not with the key. It's not enough to replace the key, it needs to be reprogrammed using the appropriate equipment by an auto locksmith. This requires that the transponder be programmed into the keys so that they can communicate with the car. They can also unlock and open the doors from a distance, without touching the lock.
