Most of us drive keyless entry-equipped modern cars nowadays. Ever considered what you would do if you misplaced your car key? There are instances where you can mistakenly leave your car somewhere and then discover that you are no longer able to access it. Well, faults and errors are a natural part of life, and practically every problem we encounter has a potential solution. Here is what you need to do if you've misplaced your car keys:

Traditional Keys:

You can easily get a replacement key if you ever lose your conventional car key by calling a locksmith. In some circumstances, though, you might have to purchase a new ignition lock cylinder and key from the automobile manufacturer if your vehicle won't accept the key the locksmith created. The majority of the time, though, this doesn't happen because old cars and their keys are entirely mechanical.

Transponder Keys:

An embedded chip in the transponder key informs the engine control unit (ECU) that the correct key is being used and permits it to start the engine. Although a transponder key is a more modern version of a classic key, you can still call a locksmith who is knowledgeable about these keys if you ever lose your transponder. They have the correct key blanks and transponder chips that can be programmed into your cars immobiliser system.

Key With Fob:

If you have a key with an external fob and lose the fob, you can still get into your car by using the key. You can also get in touch with a locksmith if you lose the key. In the worst case scenario, if you lose both the fob and the key, a locksmith can still help by cutting new keys to suit the locks and pairing a new remote in.

Smart Key:

So this is the most modern type of car key available as of now in 2023. In today's world, almost all cars have keyless entry and push-button start. Just to let you know, with our increased reliance on electronics and technology involved to be able to communicate, reset and program in new smart keys into the car, this can be done but compared to older keys there are normally higher costs involvednil if you ever lose this key, but is still cheaper then going the dealerships.
