Why do we even use transponder keys?



Most vehicles today uses electronic chipped keys that must be in sync with the car (immobilizer), when the key is inserted and turn in the ignition, the chip is awakened by power from the car battery and send a signal with a predefined pass-code to the car computer, if the code doesn't match to the one stored in the car, the vehicle will not start or maybe even lock for couple of minutes. The main idea behind this mechanism is to have a better control on duplication of keys... getting a duplicate or a brand new key wasn’t such big deal when you could get a spare at any dealership, hardware store or a locksmith shop, but these days, the advances in electronic keys have made it necessary for the car to be present when a driver wants to copy or make a new key. So, basically the cutting of the metal blade of the key will not be sufficient to replicate a key, because without the programming of the key the vehicle engine will not turn on.



The history of Chevy chipped keys



General Motors first came out with their VATS (Vehicle Anti Theft System) for Chevy Camaro in 1986 which applies a resistor pellet in the body of the key. Since then, other models have been following with other electric keys versions with some form of a resistor inside the key or a transponder which is a small device hidden in the plastic head of the key which can communicate a high-security code to the vehicle computer upon demand and currently, Chevrolet adopts transponders on majority of their vehicles.



Transponders VS VATS keys



Do not confuse transponder keys with the former VATS/PASS keys which contain a visible resistor pellet. Nearly every Chevrolet original transponder keys have either a PK3, PK3+ or + marked on them. Chevrolet also employs the Pass Lock mechanism on some cars (from 1996 to 2007) that do use electronics in the ignition lock, but there is no electronic in the key itself. This is often a point of confusion.
