Broken Keys

After a few years of using it's not unusual for keys to break. If your key is damaged inside the lock, you will have to replace it. But if the remainder of the key is in good shape it could be possible to repair it.

A paperclip can be used to grasp the broken piece from both sides and pull it out. If the broken piece is not stuck too far inside the lock, you could try using pliers. If the key is broken very close to lock, you might need an "seat leon spare key extraction" tool with an elongated bar with an elongated barb that is similar to a screw.

Fobs Not Working

It might seem a bit absurd to imagine that your key fob could require routine maintenance, however it's not unusual for them to stop working at some point. Sometimes, the problem can be as simple as an inoperative battery. If you've replaced your batteries and your fob still isn't working, it might be time to look at a different solution.

The buttons can also wear out, which is a common reason why a fob ceases working. When you press the button on your fob, the contacts send a coded message to the receiver inside your car which communicates what action you want the key do. If the contacts are damaged or damaged, pressing the button could not work at all or it may send different messages than what you were hoping for.

If changing the batteries and reprogramming the key fob aren't helping you, you may need to have it replaced or repaired. Modern keys must be programmed to be compatible with your vehicle's specific Vehicle Identification Number and certain mistakes or wear and tear could cause this programming to be corrupted.

Transponder Chips

The transponder chip inside your car keys is a very vital component of the key. They send out an indication with a distinct frequency when the key is placed in the ignition. The car's electronic device recognizes the code and is aware that it's you. The engine will not start even if the device inside the car isn't able to recognize the signal, which is intended as security measure to prevent thieves from hot wiring vehicles and driving them away.

The chip is not batteries, so it doesn't need to be charged or replaced. It must be programmed by a person who has access to the ECU of your vehicle. This is why you need to take your key to a professional locksmith.

There are many kinds of transponder chip available on the market, the most popular being Rolling Code and Crypto. Key blanks feature an aluminum head with an opening to accommodate the glass ampoule/transponder, it is then placed in the carrier (or sleeve) on the back of the bow (plastic head). Here is a photo of a sleeve carrier from a Ford seat exeo key programming. You can harvest the transponder from a broken key using an PVC Ratcheting Pipe Cutter or any other method to cut off the sleeve.
