I just got a 2013 Subaru Forester. It apparently uses transponder keys. It looks like the days of having a cheap copy cut to keep in my wallet are over. So what's the deal with transponder keys? Can

Dave, My dodge van uses transponder keys also...I think most cars do these days. A standard brass key can be used to open the door and unlock the steering wheel, but will not start the car. If it doe

Over the last 10 years or so, there have been numerous documented hacks of RFID-based ignition systems. Some vehicles don't even need a mechanical key to unlock the steering column. This means someon

I'm not ultra-knowledgeable about the keys in general, but the cars I've had have all been slightly different in how they executed them. I've got a Cadillac CTS-V now, and that's the first one that a

In our case, with our two Priuses (Prii?) we sort of have a key: if you press the right switch on the transponder, a tiny almost toy key comes out that will unlock the doors. It does not start the ca

For ours, like I said, my mechanic showed me how to replace the batteries. The batteries are CR2032 so I doubt we'll have any issues. Whether or not this is true for all transponder keys, I don't kno

If you google hard enough, you should be able to find both the 'how to' and the tools.(if needed.) That old saying--Where there is a will, there is a way. The keys can be cut elsewhere. Some home dep

I got to be a pro at replacing the batteries on the VAG (VW) fobs. They don't *look* like they want to be opened, but it's easy after the first time and you realize you're not going to break it. Of c

Someone mentioned that the transponder key makes it easier for hi tech thieves to steal cars, which is apparently true with some brands. See link below for a story with CCTV clips of the actual theft

Nope, just pull the key off the end of the fob assembly, split the transmitter part of the assembly, and swap the battery. If you ever have to to it, let me know. It's a two-minute job, no tools. Hav
