Transponder keys are the common type of electronic car keys used for modern vehicles. Most cars have a digital security lock, which is unique to each vehicle. Hence, while greatly improving a vehicle’s security apparatus, it is also very difficult to replace these transponder car keys. Campbelltown and other municipal areas of the Macarthur region have very few locksmiths authorized to make a transponder key replacement.
It takes a licensed vehicle locksmith to repair or replace any digital or transponder car keys. Campbelltown may be only about 55 miles from central Sydney, but most city service providers won’t travel that far. KeyBay is the only local locksmith in the Southern Highlands and Macarthur region authorized by all leading car companies in Australia to make replacement keys for their vehicles. Hence, keeping a spare key is always a smart decision.
Why is it Difficult to Get a Transponder Key Replacement
A transponder key functions on a unique radio transmission between your car and the key FOB. Under the plastic casing and buttons, a tiny microchip contains the true security feature. Each car manufacturer uses sophisticated encryption and unique frequency specific to their vehicles. This signal is further encrypted to be unique for each vehicle. It takes special instruments and skilled professionals to properly clone the new transponder key.
Only a handful of locksmiths have the special training and purchase the authentication licenses to clone a transponder microchip. Only such authorized locksmiths can own and operate the special instruments to clone transponders. It is illegal to clone a car’s transponder chip unless licensed and permitted by the vehicle manufacturer.
You may find several locksmiths and garage services in downtown Sydney which replace transponder car keys. Campbelltown only has a single authorized service provider for this specialized service. Your car dealership or the authorized service center would also be able to provide a transponder key replacement quickly. However, this would not be possible in remote areas of Macarthur and Southern Highlands.
The Safest Way to Replace Your Transponder Car Keys in Campbelltown
Since a transponder key’s signal is necessary to initiate the ignition process, there is no secret hack. You might be able to “break-in” if you fiddle with the lock, but the engine will not respond without the encrypted signal. So, before discussing the safest ways to get a transponder key replacement, let’s discuss things you should not do –
-
Don’t try any expert tricks from YouTube to open an electronic car lock. These hacks are mostly useless, and some of them are even illegal.
-
Don’t try and pick the lock even if you can pick other types of locks. As I just explained – you can break the lock, but you won’t be able to start the car.
KeyBay is the only authorized service provider for this specialized service for the entire Macarthur and Southern Highlands region. Hence, if you need new car keys, or find yourself locked out of your vehicle – call their emergency hotline immediately.
Thankfully, KeyBay has several mobile services attending calls around this vast region. They have trained personnel to attend to an emergency call at the shortest time possible. So, if you’re in trouble with your transponder car keys don’t try amateur tricks. Call the professionals and get an authentic transponder key replacement.
