Transponder Key Replacement

If you are driving a vehicle that was made after 1995, a transponder key probably operates it. Transponder keys contain a small circuit that sends a message to your vehicle’s computer. If this communication isn't’t there, your vehicle cannot start. Transponder keys add a large amount of security to your automobile. It makes it much more difficult for your car to be stolen, because the technology is more advanced than the standard keys thieves are used to.

The flip side of this high-tech security is that it can also be very difficult to replicate or replace a transponder key. Well, difficult for untrained locksmiths, not Pop-A-Lock Fort Smith.
