Modern car keys are typically made from a combination of metal and plastic, with a transponder chip embedded inside. The metal key blade ensures durability and precision in the locking mechanism, while the plastic housing protects the electronic components.
This combination is crucial for car key duplication because it requires specialised equipment to copy both the physical key and the electronic transponder code accurately. Don’t let a lost or malfunctioning car key ruin your day. Reach out to Lucky Lock Locksmith for fast and affordable car key duplication.
Can a duplicated car key start my car immediately, or does it require additional programming?
A duplicated car key can open the car doors immediately, but it often requires additional programming to start the vehicle. This is due to the transponder chip embedded in the key, which communicates with the car’s immobilizer system. Without proper programming, the car’s system won’t recognize the key, preventing the engine from starting. This extra step ensures security by making it difficult for unauthorized keys to be used.
How can I ensure the quality and accuracy of my duplicated car key?
To ensure the quality and accuracy of your duplicated car key, it’s best to use a reputable locksmith or automotive specialist. These professionals have access to advanced key cutting and programming equipment. They can verify that the duplicated key matches the original in both physical shape and electronic coding, ensuring it functions correctly with your vehicle’s locks and ignition system.
