Car keys also come as valet keys which will only allow valet drivers to start the car but not open the glove compartment or trunk.

Car remotes work via a radio frequency that contains a specific digital identity code. Programming such “keys” is a very technical process and can be a tad confusing. Different vehicles call for a different set of instructions when programming. The car’s onboard computer saves the code which allows the keyless remote to continue being used.

A type of Car Keys that is becoming increasingly common is the laser cut key. A laser cut key is very distinct from a regular key. The key’s shank is thicker than that of a regular key. Rather than having ridges along the outside edge like a regular car key, a laser cut key has its cuts along the interior face of the key shank. The purpose of a laser cut key is to keep tour vehicle even safer from car theft than it already is. The machines required to cut these keys are much more expensive than traditional car key cutting machines which makes duplicating them more difficult. They are also embedded with transponder chips, which are programmed alone with your car so that only your set of keys will start the vehicle.
