A non-transponder keys means there is no technology in the head of the key. The keys are made of metal and some also have a plastic head. No programming is needed for these keys; they only need to be cut correctly to fit the lock and ignition in order to start the vehicle.

Our non-transponder keys are made of nickel-plated brass. Nickel-plating the key extends the shelf life of the key and gives the key a new look for a longer period of time. Some of our non-transponder keys are also offered with a plastic head.

A Transponder key contains a small chip that transmits, receives and responds to data using radio frequency transmissions. When the key is inserted and turned in the ignition it sends a unique code or signal to the car’s on-board computer system. Once the computer identifies the signal as a valid key, it enables the vehicle to start.

A cloneable key is a replacement key for some automotive transponder keys that has an electronic circuit board or a transponder chip that can be “cloned” with an appropriate cloning tool.

Our test keys are metal blades that allow the user to “test” cut a key in a lock using an inexpensive blade as opposed to a more expensive key that may need programmed.

VATS stands for Vehicle Anti-Theft System and has a resistor embedded inside the key blade. VATS keys are used exclusively for GM makes & models and each resistor has one of fifteen possible values. Sometimes the resistors are referred to as "pellets" or "chips". These keys do not require a cloning or programming tool, only a reader to determine the resistor value. There are 2 types of VATS keys, single sided and double sided.
