Transponder Chip Keys
If your car was manufactured in the last 20 years and is a good bet to contain a transponder inside its head made of plastic. While it might seem like an insignificant piece of hardware, it is a very important part of the car's security system because it can prevent theft by preventing criminals from starting your car.
It operates by sending a radio frequency signal when you insert your key into the ignition. The microchip on your key will respond it by generating a unique code the car's immobilizer can identify and read. The immobilizer only allows the car to start if the right key is used.
Except for a few models of cars that don't utilize these keys, the majority of modern cars use them. They are safer than the old-fashioned keys made of metal, since they stop a skilled and determined car thief from using the hot wire or any other method to start the car.
No matter if your transponder chip key is a traditional blade design that needs to be inserted into the cylinder of ignition, or one that is kept in your pocket with the remote fob it must be copied by a certified locksmith using specialized equipment before it can function properly. There are many car dealerships that offer this service, however you can usually find the best price with an independent automotive locksmith.
Remote Fob Keys
Your car's key fob (or RKE device, remote keyless entry, or the plastic thing that opens your doors) may seem like a dull little piece of technology, but it has more than one mundane use. Fobs are able to roll down windows as well as summon your car and even park it for you in difficult spots (if the vehicle is equipped with that feature, which is provided by some BMWs).
The latest fobs have been designed to withstand a lot of abuse, and have a "Panic" button that can be used to make loud noises and scare away suspicious people who might be trying to steal the car. It is also possible to send GPS coordinates or to call emergency services. We recommend you purchase an additional fob or key in case you don't have one already. Certain auto-insurance policies, extended warranty coverage, and club memberships will cover the cost of replacing a fob or key.
You can typically purchase a new key fob via an authorized dealer. It's typically cheaper to purchase it from the parts department than the service department. Dealers won't program a key fob from an aftermarket store for your car unless you have proof of ownership and registration. You can get a working fob programmed through an locksmith. However, online sites that offer the service require that you have a code for your key on a metal plaque that is attached to the fob and kept in a secure location (like your glovebox). Find the key code in your owner's manual, or the dealer's manual, and use a small screwdriver unlock the fob's casing.
Keyless Entry Keys
Keyless entry is a wonderful convenience and is standard on a lot of new vehicles. The car key fob typically has buttons for locking or unlocking and also for opening the trunk and rolling down windows. It may also include other security features such as a security lock to stop the car from being started without the owner present. If you're concerned about theft, adding a tracking device to your vehicle will help to in preventing thieves from taking advantage of your car.
While keyless entry is an excellent feature, there are a few things that could go wrong with it, just as any other piece of equipment or car accessory of machinery. The key fob could get lost, the battery may fail or be damaged if dropped on a hard surface. These problems aren't easy to fix as the key fob is composed of electronic components rather than metal components.

Ignition Cylinder Replacement
The ignition cylinders form an essential part of the security systems built into modern cars. The system ensures the car will run when you insert the proper key and turn it. If it's not then the engine won't start and your car will be locked. This feature can be helpful in reducing the chance of theft, but it can also be a problem if your ignition isn't working properly.
If your car is having difficulty getting started, or you're forced to shake the key too much before it engages it, this could indicate a problem with the ignition cylinder. It's best to replace it when this happens.
