• The old car keys that used to rely upon teeth to
  manipulate physical tumblers and open car door
  locks, or operate an ignition, are fast becoming
  a thing of the past, and smart keys are their
  ultra-modern replacement. Changing the way we
  lock and unlock vehicles, even when were not
  right next to them, smart car keys might be a
  fantastic example of smart new technology, but
  just as with their metal predecessors, it can be
  a real pain in the proverbial when you lose them!
• That said, at least with metal keys, we often
  have a spare set lying around that we can use to
  gain access to the vehicle, and get a new pair
  cut if necessary with transponder keys, its not
  so simple, they need to be reprogrammed.

• Why does a transponder car key need to be
  reprogrammed?
• Each transponder key is given a unique electronic
  code, and this is done with the use of a glass
  case mounted carbon microchip, and theyre
  anything but simple to replace. However, your
  local, professional locksmith can help you obtain
  and reprogram another transponder car key from
  the car manufacturer.
• The on-board computers on a car are activated
  when they recognize the microchip inside the
  transponder car key, and without this, the car
  simply wont open or start. Sometimes, when the
  unique code of the key cannot be read by the
  on-board computer for any reason, youre locked
  out of your vehicle and wont be able to get back
  in until the key has been reprogrammed.

• As with many things in life, transponder car keys
  are often not fully appreciated until their gone,
  or no longer work.
• How can a transponder become damaged?
• Water can easily damage a transponder key, as can
  any kind of physical act, but at the end of the
  day, however it gets damaged, youll need to have
  it reprogrammed.
