Car Key Cutting Explained
Cutting keys for cars is more than just bending metal. It is a complicated process that ensures security, functionality and longevity of keys.
It is not unusual to lose your car keys or have it break off in the lock. You'll need a replacement car key to ensure that you are able to drive your car at all times.
Transponder Keys
Transponder chips are likely to be fitted in vehicles built in the last 20 years. These microchips are located in the key's handle and send a signal to the onboard computers in your vehicle when you turn the key. The computer on board detects the digital serial number in the chip and only allows the car to start if it's the right one. This prevents thieves from hijacking your vehicle since they'd need to know the unique serial number.
The microchip inside the key transmits a low-level signal the car's receiver. The radio signal activates the microchip, which then transmits an informational code to the car's onboard computer. The car will recognize this code and will only allow it to start only if the key is the right one. This stops the use of "hot wiring" and other methods of theft of cars.
Locksmiths who offer these services can design keys for cars with chips. They can also be purchased at a few automotive stores like AutoZone. These stores have a wide range of keys and will help you get the right one for your car. They can help you program your vehicle's chip that is required to operate the device.
You can also purchase laser cut keys, which are more secure than traditional flat keys. They have an cylinder for locking that is much more difficult to pick, and they are only duplicated using expensive laser key cutting equipment or specialized software. This type of technology is typically found in high-end cars, but it is now accessible in a variety of affordable cars too.
Another type of car key that's difficult to duplicate is the VATS (vehicle anti-theft system) key. These keys contain a resistor that's black on the blade of the key. It can be programmed with one of a variety of values to prevent it from starting a car that's not designed to. These keys are costly and require a key programming machine, which is only available at certain locksmiths.
VATS Keys
Before transponder keys and cars with computer chips built in to control the ignition, GM used a system called VATS (Vehicle Anti-Theft System). VATS uses a key with an embedded resistor to confirm that the right key was used to start the car. The VATS black pellet that is inside the middle of the VATS key isn't an electronic chip as used in modern smart keys. It is simply a piece of carbon that is sized appropriately to have an electrical resistance that is specific to.
GM employed 15 different resistances for VATS pellets and attached them to key blades in a way that, when the key is turned in the ignition a coded message is sent to the module. If the signal matches the resistance value of the transistor in the VATS pellet the relay in the starter circuit is activated and the engine will start to run. This doesn't make a car burglar-proof however it could delay a thief for at least 15 to twenty minutes.
After a prolonged period of usage the VATS module may start to wear out. Every time a key is inserted into the ignition, it reroutes two small wires inside the ignition, and, over time, the wires may start to break. Once enough wires are broken, the signal to the module gets not received and it will not start the car.
The good news is that you can fix this issue yourself by decoding your own VATS key. It's not difficult to determine the resistance value of a key with the multimeter. All you have to do is place one of the leads of your ohm meter on the prongs made of metal hanging out on both sides of the key. Then read the ohm meter's display to determine the resistance value of your key.
This is a great opportunity to test out a new key and check if it works in your vehicle. Just be sure to remove the key from the ignition before you begin testing it, or else the new key may have an incorrect VATS number and will not work in your car.
Smart Key Fobs with Smart Keys
Key fobs today can do more than just unlock or start the vehicle. A lot of them come with advanced features that many owners are unaware of. They can be employed as a security tool or as a deterrent to theft. They can lock and unlock your door remotely, make chirping noises to assist you in finding your car in a lot, or allow you to call it up by pressing the button. This is more than you could ever imagine from a traditional keychain remote. Smart key fobs are more expensive to replace due their extra functions. They also need to be programmed by the dealer.
In fact, some dealers charge upwards of $100 to replace one smart key fob. It's a steep price to pay for a product that is frequently tossed around in pockets and purses where it can be damaged, thrown or exposed to extreme temperatures and moisture. Fortunately, some automakers have developed ways to protect smart key fobs from common types of electronic attacks like relay attacks. These are often combined with remote start hacks that gives thieves access to your vehicle's settings through the transmission of a fake signal from another transmitter nearby.
To protect a smart fob you can put it in a casing made of metal or use an RFID blocking case. This will prevent the transmission of these signals. However, having to take the key fob from its protective case each time you use it is not a good way to enjoy the benefits of the technology.
Some newer policies like auto club memberships and extended warranties, will pay for a replacement fob or reimburse you in the event that it's lost. You can also avoid paying new-car dealer fees by having your fob cloned at a hardware or locksmith store that offers key-fob-cloning services.
For most drivers who are buying a new key fob depends on how important your car's keyless entry and push-button start functions are. In any event it is advisable to keep a spare car key cutting fob or key in case in case you lose it. Batteries Plus offers a large selection of replacement fobs that fit most cars and trucks. We also offer a quick, convenient service that is roughly 50% less than the price you'd spend at the dealership.
Traditional Keys
Traditional car keys are a single length of steel that has grooves cut into it to fit a specific lock. These keys can open your locks and open the car, assuming you haven't exchanged them for a smart key or remote key. The only drawback of using a traditional key cutting services is that it must be physically put into the ignition to start the vehicle.
