One of the most recent improvements automakers have added to improve the security of your vehicle are transponder keys. Each one contains a microchip that sends a radio transmission to the ignition of the vehicle, making it the only way to start the car. Although the concept is relatively simple, it makes your automobile more secure, and it also helps prevent lock-outs.

What makes this effective is that each transponder key is programmed to your car only. Each key is matched to the signal received by the vehicle once the key is pressed or inserted in the lock. Once the vehicle verifies a match, it will automatically start the engine. If there is no match, the engine will not start, thus relieving you of the worry that someone might try to steal your car.

Ability Lock & Key recommends that vehicle owners have a spare transponder key in case they misplace the original. If you loose vehicle's transponder key, Ability Lock & Key can generate and program a new one to your vehicle wherever you are, saving you the expense of towing your vehicle to a dealership and the frustration of having to wait for your local dealership to open.
