Know the difference

Remote Fob vs Transponder Key

Remote FobACCESS

Sends commands for supported convenience functions. A vehicle may still start even when these buttons fail.

  • Lock / unlock
  • Boot release
  • Alarm
  • Keyless entry
TransponderSTART

Communicates with the immobiliser to authorise starting. Programming the buttons does not automatically program this chip.

  • Immobiliser
  • Start authorisation
  • Coded chip
  • Vehicle security
Some smart keys combine remote, transponder and proximity technology in one unit. If the vehicle will not start as well as the buttons not working, a broader key-system service may be required.

Common questions

Remote Key Fob FAQ

Can you replace a lost remote key fob?

A suitable replacement may be supplied and programmed for supported vehicles after confirming the make, model, year and key system.

Why has my car remote stopped working?

Possible causes include a flat battery, damaged buttons, electronic faults, lost programming, incompatible parts or a vehicle-side receiver problem.

Does a replacement key fob need programming?

Many modern vehicles require the remote to be paired with the vehicle. The exact procedure varies by manufacturer and key system.

Can you program a spare remote?

For supported vehicles, a spare remote can often be programmed. Having a working original may affect the available procedure.

Is remote programming the same as transponder programming?

No. Remote programming controls access functions; transponder programming relates to immobiliser and starting authorisation.
