Car Key Cutting Explained
Car key cutting is a lot more than just forming the metal. It is a sophisticated process that guarantees security, functionality and the longevity of keys.
It is not uncommon to lose your car keys or have them break in the lock. You'll require a replacement car key to ensure that you can drive your vehicle at all times.
Transponder Keys
Transponder chips are likely be fitted in vehicles that were built in the last 20 years. These microchips are tiny inside the key's handle that transmit signals to the car's onboard computer whenever you use it. The computer in the car detects the digital serial number in the chip and only allows the car to start if it's the right one. This prevents car theft since thieves need to know your unique serial number to be able to take over it.
The microchip inside your car key sends an unintentional radio signal to the receiver inside the car. This radio signal activates the microchip that then transmits the code to the computer onboard of the car. The car will be able to recognize this code and will only allow it to start when the key is the right one. This will stop "hot wiring" or other methods of stealing cars.
Locksmiths who provide these services can design car keys with chips. Some auto dealers like AutoZone sell them. These stores have a wide variety of keys and can help you get the right one for your vehicle. They can even help you programme the chip into your vehicle, which is necessary to make it work.
You can also get laser cut keys that are more secure than traditional flat keys. These keys have an cylinder for locking that is more difficult to pick, and they can only be duplicated with expensive laser key cutting machines or with specially designed software. This type of technology is typically found in high-end cars, but it is now available in a variety of affordable automobiles as well.
The VATS (vehicle-anti-theft system), key is another type of key that is difficult to duplicate. These keys feature a black resistor on the blade of the key that is programmed with one of fifteen possible values to stop the car from starting that it's not meant to. These keys are more expensive to buy and require a specific key programming device that can only be found at a few locksmiths.
VATS Keys
Before the advent of transponder keys as well as cars equipped with computer chips that control the car's ignition, GM used something called VATS (Vehicle Anti-Theft System). VATS makes use of a regular key with a pellet of resistance embedded in it to confirm that the correct key is used to start the car. The black VATS pellet in the center of a VATS key is not an electronic chip as found on modern smart keys, it is simply a block of carbon appropriately sized to have an exact electrical resistance.
GM used 15 different resistance values for the VATS pellets. They connected them to the key's blade, so that when the key is turned on the ignition a coded signal will be sent to the module. If the signal matches that of the transistor in a VATS pellet then the relay in starter circuit will turn on and the engine will begin to run. This doesn't make a spare car key cutting secure from theft, but it will delay the theft by at most 15 to 20 minutes.
Unfortunately, after a significant amount of use the VATS module in your car may begin to wear out. Each time a key is inserted into the ignition it moves two tiny wires inside the ignition, and, over time, the wires can begin to break. When enough wires have been broken the signal is lost to the module and the car will not start.
The good news is that you can solve this issue yourself by decoding your VATS key. It's not difficult to determine the resistance value of a key using the multimeter. All you have to do is put one of the leads of your ohm gauge on the prongs of metal that are hanging out on both sides of the key, then read the ohm meter's display to find out the resistance of your key.
This method is also a great way to test a new key to determine whether it will work in your vehicle. Remove the key from the ignition first before you test it. If not, the key may have an incorrect VATS and will not work in your car.
Smart Key Fobs
Key fobs today do more than just unlock or start cars. They can also be a security device and a burglar deterrent, with a lot of them having advanced features that the owners might not even be aware of. They can remotely lock and unlock your doors, emit sounding sounds to help find your car in a parking lot or allow you to call your vehicle by pressing the button on your smartphone. This is more features than you get from a standard keychain remote. Smart Key cut place fobs are more expensive to replace due their extra functions. They also have to be programmed by a dealer.
Some dealers will charge up to $100 for a single smart fob. That's a huge sum to pay for something that is often time snagging around in purses and pockets where it can be easily dropped, damaged, or exposed to extreme humidity and temperatures. Certain automakers have developed strategies to protect smart key fobs from common electronic threats, including relay attacks. They are usually paired with remote start hacks that gives thieves access to your vehicle's settings via the transmission of a fake signal from another transmitter close to.
To protect a smart fob, you can store it in a metal casing or put it in 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.
Fortunately, some of the newer car insurance policies, auto club memberships, and extended warranty coverage will cover the cost of replacing a fob or pay for the loss of a fob. You can also save money on dealer charges and have your fob cut at a hardware store or locksmith that offers key-fob cloning services.
The decision to buy an additional fob is dependent on the importance of your car's keyless start and entry functions. In any case, you should always have an extra key or fob handy just in case you lose it. If you do need to buy a new replacement, Batteries Plus has a large selection of fobs to fit most cars and trucks. Additionally, we provide an efficient, quick service that is roughly 50% less than you'd spend at the dealership.
Traditional Keys
The classic car key is a single piece of metal with a series of grooves cut into it. These grooves are made to fit certain locks. These keys can open your locks and start the car, provided you haven't exchanged them to a smart or remote sidewinder key cutting. The only downside of using the traditional car key is that you must physically insert it into the ignition to start the engine. If your traditional car key is lost or broken you'll need to visit an Gainesville locksmith to get a new one made.
There are several options to select from based on how long it has been since you were able to cut your keys. Certain keys are cut using mechanical machines and others are laser-cut with added security features.
Modern keys have advanced features like encryption and anti-theft mechanisms. The encryption makes it difficult for thieves to duplicate keys or pick locks. Other security features to prevent theft include transponder chips that are incorporated into the key to communicate with your vehicle and allow it to only work when it's within the distance of your vehicle.
If you opt to utilize a traditional key your locksmith can create the new key using the standard cutter machine that is available from most hardware stores. This is cheaper than a key fob, or transponder, and you will still be able to use your locks, trunk and doors.
Another option is to have the traditional car keys substituted with a laser-cut version with a unique pattern. These keys were first introduced in the 1990s and are an increasingly popular choice for those looking to secure their vehicles. The majority of laser cut keys come with transponder chips that are specifically programmed to work with the specific vehicle you own. If the chips aren't present in your vehicle it won't receive the signals from the key, and will not start.
