Franklin Locksmith Service Franklin, OH 937-697-3005The spike in car thefts between the 1970s and 1990s pushed the automotive industry to redefine the security measures installed in vehicles. Evidently, the mechanical lock & key systems weren’t doing a great job at keeping the vehicles safe. Most keys could be copied easily and even with no keys, the vehicles could easily be hotwired. To prevent all that, in 1995, a new piece of tech was introduced that managed to revolutionize vehicle security – the transponder keys.

What are they?

  • The key blade’s intricacy makes duplication quite difficult
  • Vehicles cannot be hotwired
  • The chip must be programmed precisely and hence, cannot be reproduced easily
  • Bolsters vehicle security and reduces possibility of theft
