Providing Services for Transponder Keys throughout the Winnipeg Area
Most car manufacturers use transponder keys to prevent cars from being hotwired and stolen. Without the transponder signal, your car will not start which makes your vehicle nearly impossible to steal. This is very beneficial, but transponder keys can be expensive – and what happens if you lose one? Kildonan Lock Service Ltd specializes in the replacement and repair of transponder keys in Winnipeg. So if you’re in need of a new transponder key, get in contact with us!
What Are Transponder Keys?
Transponder keys have an rf transmitter inside of them that connects with a receiver near the ignition switch of your car. Using a very low-level signal, your car detects when the key is in the switch. Without this signal, your car will not start. Transponder keys have a thicker plastic section than most other car keys. If you’re unsure whether or not your car has a transponder key, you can try wrapping the plastic part in tin foil. If the car doesn’t start then your key has a transponder.
You’ll also know if you have a transponder key if it costs a lot of money to replace it from your car dealer. Transponder keys can range from $50 to $300 to replace at the dealership. Kildonan Lock Service Ltd is proud to offer transponder keys in Winnipeg at reasonable prices.
Types of Transponder Keys
Generally, your car key will have one of two types of transponders in it – a programmed transponder or a cloned transponder.
At Kildonan Lock Service Ltd we offer the Keyline USA variety of keys that service hundreds of different vehicle make and models.
