Transponder User Guide
Simple mechanical auto locks are rapidly losing ground to the next generation of lock technology — transponder keys. In this innovative system, an electronic chip (the transponder) imbedded in the key transmits and verifies a code with the car’s on-board computer systems, allowing the car to start. If someone attempts to start the vehicle without the correct programmed key the car will not start.
Transponder technology represents a major advance in theft protection — and a profitable opportunity for you. Since its introduction in 1996, transponder key use has grown to over 70 million cars in North America today. And with replacement costs currently averaging $50 to $300 per key, your reward in servicing the technology will match the vehicle owner’s satisfaction of being protected by it.
