Automative / Transponder Keys

What are transponder keys?

The biggest change to the automotive industry in recent times has been the introduction of the built in immobilise system on all cars manufactured since 1995 (late ’94 in some cases). This involves placing a microchip in the head of the key, which is a miniature transmitter and receiver.

There is an engine management system in the engine compartment that can recognise the signals transmitted from the key. If the correct signals are not detected the engine will not start

Can we copy all transponders?

No, but OVER 62% of cars on the road today have fixed code transponder keys which we can copy.

We can read the information in the key.  From this we can identify the type of transponder.  This allows us to clone the key which is an identical copy of the original.

We can interrogate the chip in the ECU or immobilizer module.  This gives us the ability to modify the data on the chip and to suit the new key transponder.

On-board programming- in this operation we are able to introduce the new security code to the cars computer via the key

Transponder keys come in various forms, it is impossible to detect with the eye  – a tester is required.

In all we are able to clone or supply keys to 32 car makes and most models, 6 truck makes and 8 motor bike makes.

The basic information we require is:    Make / model / year    and in some case the build date.
