Transponder Keys

Many Audi models are equipped with a particular type of key known as transponder keys. They have an electronic microchip inside the key itself that communicates with the vehicle's computer system to begin the engine. These keys may be more expensive than conventional ones, and they might also require a different programing procedure. It is important to understand the differences between these two types of car keys before deciding which one is the best choice for you.





A normal car key with a transponder appears like a standard metal key with a plastic top. The transponder transmits radiofrequency energy when the key is turned and inserted into the ignition. The chip inside the key responds with a unique code, telling the car's computer that this is an authentic ignition key.

These keys are more costly to replace or repair than their less advanced predecessors, but they provide more security for car owners. The fact that they require an exclusive programming process stops people from simply duplicating keys and then starting the car themselves. However it doesn't mean that vehicles with transponder keys are invincible to thieves. Many thieves are still able to successfully take over cars using a method called hot wiring.
