Smart Car Key Replacement
Smart keys are the next step in car key technology. These keys can unlock your doors and start your car at one simple click of a button. They may cost more than standard keys, and are more difficult to replace.
You can get a replacement smart key at your local dealership or through an expert locksmith. Both are similar, but provide different services.
Keyless Entry System
The keyless entry system of your car is a sophisticated security feature that lets you unlock and start your vehicle without having to take the key out of your pocket. It works by sending a wireless signal that is received by a receiver that is built inside the car's interior. The receiver is activated by the car's doors and starts the engine.
The key fob is an electronic chip that has an identifier unique to it and is paired with the receiver of your car. When you put the key in your ignition, the matched pair signals that you are near to the car and allows the car to open the door and start the engine.
It can be difficult to get your smart key replaced in the event that you lose it. Often, you will need to visit the dealer to show proof of ownership. They will then pair your new key with your car.
In some modern vehicles, you can make use of an app to replace the key fob. These systems, known as "keyless entry", can be utilized to open and start the vehicle as well as to lock or unlock the doors. This type of system is available as an upgrade to your factory remote or as part of a customized security package. It is also used in corporate and apartment building entrances.
