WHAT DOES CAR FOB KEY AND TRANSPONDER KEY PROGRAMMING MEAN?
Ever since 1995, all vehicles made and sold in the UK were fitted with an immobilizer system meant to deter thieves from stealing the cars.
When the key that holds a unique id code is inserted into the ignition barrel, it will only start the vehicle if the code received from the key matches the id code of the car, assigned at the time of manufacturing. Without matching id codes between the key and the vehicle, it means that the vehicle will not start. There are various reasons why communicate Some of the reasons for losing communication between a fob or transponder key and the car varies and will detail below.
WHEN KEY PROGRAMMING IS REQUIRED?
MAKING A NEW CAR KEY;
After making a new car key, the immobilizer & remote functions needs to be programmed before they will enable engine start and remote central locking operation.
MAKING A NEW CAR KEY;
When the synchronization between a fob or transponder key and the vehicle is lost, the reprogramming process becomes necessary in order to restore the full functionality.
FOB KEY OR TRANSPONDER KEY IS LOST OR STOLEN;
An auto locksmith company should be the second call you are placing after calling the police if one, or both keys are lost or stolen. Reprogramming new car keys requires that the lost or stolen ones have to be erased from the car memory on some vehicle; this will ensure car keys not present will no longer be paired with the car.
FOB KEY OR TRANSPONDER KEY’S BATTERY OR THE VEHICLE’S BATTERY HAS RUN OUT;
After replacing the battery, some keys do not require any programming. Other and especially newer models, do require reprogramming or resynchronization of the vehicle keys before they’ll resume operation.
WATER PENETRATION;
Having the fob or transponder key dropped in the water accidentally brings joy to no one. As it goes with most electronic gadgets, these keys are not compatible with water either. Although some of them are watertight, most are not. Sometimes, when water gets inside the remote, it will cause corrosion which stops the communication with the vehicle. If no other damages are visible, a clean-up of the remote, having the battery replaced and reprogrammed will solve the issue at hand.
