To get the best results, you must have the following items:KeysModern cars require a transponder key in order to operate. This gives security and anti-theft protection. These keys are programmed by a locksmith or an authorized dealer to function with the car's systems and the specific model. They are costly to replace in the event of loss and you should keep extras handy. You can find key fobs to replace them in online stores as well as many brick and mortar auto shops. How can you know that the one you purchased is genuine? Can you tell if it has been programmed for a different vehicle or if it is able to be reprogrammed for yours?If you want to program an entirely new key first, you need to ensure that your car is operating. Insert the key you want to program into the ignition without turning it. There are just a few minutes before the system resets all commands and then exits the programming mode. It is essential to move quickly and don't wait between each step. To prevent this from happening, turn off the engine. Switch the key from "on" to "off" to test the system. There should be a chime signalling that the procedure was successful. The door locks will be able to cycle.Certain newer vehicles have rolling key technology that keeps thieves from using stolen cars' key to open it. This feature is still susceptible to a technique known as replay attack. It allows thieves to record and later duplicate the signal generated by the car key fob to open the car. To prevent this, manufacturers have added the security feature known as the CAN bus protocols to ward off hacking.Certain manufacturers also employ special encryption on their key fobs, which are not decoded by an ordinary program. These types of cars require programming by a professional. Therefore, you should only attempt this procedure only if you've worked with electronic devices. Check the manual of your car or go to the manufacturer's website to find out how to program it.

Any hardware store can offer you a new car key but the real challenge lies in implementing it to your vehicle. A reprogrammed key will need to be matched with the specific identification number of the vehicle or else it won't be able to start the engine.Transponder chips are a common feature in modern cars and are designed to prevent car theft. The chip is a tiny microcircuit which transmits a radio-frequency signal when the ignition key is placed. The car is able to detect the signal, and starts the engine only if it matches the one programmed into the vehicle. The car will also shut down if a frequency is not valid. This makes it more difficult for novice car thefts to connect a vehicle to a hot wire and then start it.The key and the chip are linked by a circuit board that includes an induction coil. When the key is put in the ignition the magnetic field is created around the transponder. This generates a signal, which is taken up by the coil and sent to the key's identification number. The key's identification code is sent back to the car and the engine will start when the identification number matches.There are a few different methods to program a transponder key, however, they all require an appropriate tool. These tools can be bought online or from most automotive locksmiths. These tools are not inexpensive, but they are vital to program your car's chip.You could also utilize a transponder that is reprogrammable that was previously programmed for a different vehicle. In this case, ensure that the key hasn't been damaged or that the transponder isn't altered in any way.

It is best to consult an auto locksmith for help in case you're not an expert.
