Transponder systems have been in use in Europe for over five years and in the United States for over four years. Insurance companies initiated the change and with the high success rates against stolen vehicles, this system has been viewed as very effective. The system is far more secure and desired than VATS, which is evident by the number of models and manufacturers that have adopted transponder technology.
Europe has been at the leading edge of transponder technology. The United States seems to be following by 12-18 months. Based on trends in Europe, the only manufacturers using this technology are Mercedes and BMW. This is the same situation in the United States. There is no guarantee, but it is not an immediate issue.
Many vehicles have switched to transponder systems, but it is not always obvious if an original key contains a transponder. As a result, transponder keys are being duplicated on non-transponder blanks. These keys will not work and waste both your time and your customers. Searching an application chart may not help to determine if a transponder system is present because it may be an option for that particular vehicle. The TD3A is a quick and easy method for identifying if the original or the blank selected to duplicate have a transponder in the head of the key.
4. Why does my TD3A give me an incorrect type of chip reading if the key is placed in the device upside down?
The orientation of the transponder is critical and if it is not located in the normal position the TD3A may pick up an incorrect reading.
