A remote car key (also known as a smart key) makes use of a transponder chips inside the head of the key that communicates with the immobiliser system of your car and enable it to start once you insert the key into the ignition. The majority of customers love these keys due to the fact that they are practical and reliable. The keys are also durable and can be dropped, squeezed, or thrown around, unlike those old flip key models which are now obsolete.
However, it is important to note that if the key won't start your car, the issue is most likely with the immobiliser system in the vehicle and not the key itself. It's not enough to simply replace the key, it must be reprogrammed using the appropriate equipment by an auto locksmith.
