Basic Key And Fob

This is the most basic type of car key available.

The “basic key” is just that metal blade you stick in the ignition to start the car and unlock the doors.

Then there’s the “key fob,” which you might also hear called a remote or transmitter.

It’s the electronic gadget that lets you lock and unlock the car with the push of a button.

If you lose or break your basic key, a locksmith or dealer can cut you a new one. But if it’s the key fob that’s giving you trouble, you’ll need to get it programmed, and our dealership team can totally handle that for you. 

Switchblade Keys

Switchblade keys are pretty cool because they’ve got this nifty key shank that folds right into the key fob when you’re not using it.

Just press a button, and bam, it pops out! The key part can be either a basic cut or a fancy laser cut.

One little perk of this design is that if you mess up just the key blade, you might be able to swap it out without having to replace the whole fob.

But heads up, if you lose the whole thing, you’ll need to get both the key and the fob replaced and programmed.

Smart Key (Keyless Entry)

A keyless entry remote, or “smart key,” lets you hop into your car and start it up just by pressing a button.

Most of the time, you don’t even have to fish it out of your pocket or purse.

These gadgets use fancy rolling security codes to keep your ride safe from thieves. 

With all the high-tech stuff and how they’re synced up with your car’s computer, if you ever need a replacement, you’re going to need to go through a certified dealership or official parts retailer.
