Keeping the Cost Low

Why it can be expensive to get Smart & Proximity Keys, Flip Keys, Fixed Blade Remote Keys and Transponder Keys

Smart keys, proximity keys, flip keys, fixed blade remote keys, and transponder keys are all types of car keys that use advanced technology to increase security and convenience. They are generally more expensive to replace than traditional metal keys because they require specialized equipment and programming to function properly.

Smart keys, also known as keyless entry or keyless start keys, allow the driver to unlock and start the car by pressing a button or carrying the key fob in close proximity to the vehicle. These keys are convenient because they allow the driver to enter and start the car without having to physically insert the key into the ignition. However, they can be expensive to replace because they require specialized equipment and programming to function properly.

Proximity keys are similar to smart keys, but they use a radio frequency signal to communicate with the car's ignition system. They are convenient because the driver can unlock and start the car by simply carrying the key fob in close proximity to the vehicle. Like smart keys, they can be expensive to replace because they require specialized equipment and programming to function properly.

Flip keys, also known as folding keys, are a type of remote key that folds in half for convenience. They typically have a small key fob on one end and a blade on the other end that fits into the car's ignition. Flip keys can be more expensive to replace than traditional metal keys because they contain a remote and require programming to function properly.

Fixed blade remote keys are similar to flip keys, but the blade does not fold. They typically have a small key fob on one end and a fixed blade on the other end that fits into the car's ignition. Like flip keys, they can be more expensive to replace than traditional metal keys because they contain a remote and require programming to function properly.

Transponder keys are a type of car key that uses a radio frequency signal to communicate with the car's ignition system. They are designed to increase security and prevent unauthorized access to the vehicle. Transponder keys can be more expensive to replace than traditional metal keys because they contain a transponder chip that must be programmed to function properly.
