Unsure if your car uses a transponder key?
When a car key is called a transponder key, that means there is a chip (a transponder) in the plastic top of the key. The chip sends and receives a signal from the car's computer. If the transponder matches the car the ignition will turn on. Most late model vehicles these days will use a transponder key. If you're unsure if your car has one, contact Taupo Key & Lock - the team will be able to immediately tell you if your key has a transponder.
