Key Tip: Avoid exposing key fobs to water or extreme temperatures
Lost Keys

Key Tip: Consider key insurance for expensive smart keys

Security Systems
An anti-theft system that prevents the engine from starting unless it detects the correct transponder chip in the key. The chip sends a unique code to the car's computer when you turn the ignition. No match = no start, even with a physically matching key.
Cost & Options
Quality aftermarket keys work well for most vehicles at lower cost. However, some luxury brands use proprietary technology only available through dealers. For expensive cars, OEM may be worth the extra cost for reliability.
Key Tip: Newer cars often require dealer programming for first key replacement
Key Fact: Key fob batteries typically last 3-4 years with normal use
