What is a transponder and how do they operate?

The word transponder is basically a shortened version of the words "Transmitter" and "Responder". In this case it is a miniaturized electronic chip that has a nonvolatile memory; this type of memory does not need a source of energy for retention. The chip is accompanied by a fine wire coil, which acts as a transmitter.

The transponders used on vehicles today are known as "Magnetic Coupled Transponder Systems". These systems are passive in nature and therefore do not require constant electricity or their own power supply. They tend to operate at a frequency of around 125KHz and their range is limited to about 15cm.

The transponder chip itself does not have to be directly visible to be able to communicate. Its radio frequency can pass through materials such as rubber and plastic.

Some transponder keys can be cloned using reader/encoder hardware and writeable transponder chips. Others must be programmed into the processor/interrogator before they will function, this technique is known as "programming the key via the vehicle". The remaining systems that are not coded using the aforementioned techniques, must be cloned using our own developed specialised diagnostic equipment.

Keys can be Cut to Code, Keys made to Locks, Locks made to suit your key, Transponder keys copied,Crypto keys programmed,and Remote Key Fobs supplied and coded.
