Car Key Cutting Explained
Cutting a car key is more than just bending a piece metal. It is a complicated process that ensures security, functionality and durability of keys.
It is not uncommon to lose your car key or even have it break in the lock. To ensure that you can always drive your vehicle, you will need to have a replacement key cutting price cut.
Transponder Keys
Transponder chips are likely be added to cars that were built in the last 20 years. These microchips are located in the key's handle and send a signal to the onboard computers in your vehicle when you use the key. The onboard computer checks the serial number of the chip before allowing the car to begin. This helps prevent theft of cars as thieves would have to know your unique serial number to be able to take over it.
The microchip in the key sends a low-level signal the car's receiver. The radio signal activates the microchip, and it then sends a code to the car's onboard computer. The car will only start only if it recognizes the code. This will stop "hot wiring" or other methods to steal cars.
Car keys with chips can be created at a locksmith that offers these services. Some automotive retailers such as AutoZone sell keys with chips. They have a vast range of keys and will help you get the right one for your car key blade cutting. They can even help you programme the chip into your vehicle, which is required for it to function.
Laser cut keys are more secure than flat keys. These keys feature an cylinder for locking that is much more difficult to pick, and are only duplicated using expensive laser key cutting machines or special software. This technology is more common in high-end vehicles, however it is now available in a variety of affordable automobiles as well.
The VATS (vehicle-anti-theft system) key is another kind of key that is difficult to duplicate. These keys contain a resistor that's black on the blade of the key. It can be programmed to one of a variety of values to prevent it from starting a vehicle that's not intended to. These keys are costly and require a key programming machine, which is only available through certain locksmiths.
Keys to VATS
Before transponder keys or vehicles with computers built-in to control the ignition, GM used a system called VATS (Vehicle Anti-Theft System). VATS utilizes a key that has an embedded resistor to ensure that the correct key was used to start the car. The VATS pellet in black located in the middle of a VATS Key is not a smart chip like those found on most modern keys. It is merely carbon or a block which is sized to provide an electrical resistance value.
GM employed 15 different resistances for the VATS Pellets and connected them to key blades in a way that, when the emergency key cutting was turned on, the key blades transmit a coded message to the module. If the signal is in line with that of the transistor in a VATS pellet, then the relay in the starter circuit will turn on and the engine will start to run. This doesn't make a car theft proof, but it will delay the theft by at least 15 to 20 minutes.
Unfortunately, after a significant amount of usage, the VATS module in your car may start to wear out. The two wires inside the ignition are moved every when the key is introduced. Over time the wires can begin to break. When enough wires have been broken, the signal is lost to the module and the car won't begin.
You can resolve this issue at home by decoding your VATS code. You'll require a multimeter and a chart to determine the resistance value of your key, but it's not difficult at all. You can determine the resistance value by placing one of the leads on the prongs of metal on both sides of your key.
This is a great opportunity to test a brand new key and check whether it works in your car. Remove the ignition key first before you test it. If not the key could have an incorrect VATS, and will not work in your car.

Certain automakers have devised methods to shield smart key fobs from common electronic attacks, like relay attacks. These are usually employed in conjunction with a remote-start hack that allows thieves to gain access to your vehicle's settings through an untrue signal from a nearby transmitter.
To secure a smart card, you can store it in a metal case or put it in an RFID blocking case. This will block the transmission of these signals. However, the necessity of removing the key fob from a case that is protected each time you use it undermines the convenience of the technology.
Fortunately, some newer car-insurance policies and auto club memberships and extended warranty insurance policies will cover the cost of replacing a fob or pay for the loss of a fob. You can also save money on dealer charges and have your fob cut at the hardware store or locksmith which offers key-fob cloning.
