Your car will not be able to turn on without the correct programming. It will also be unable to open the doors.
If you only have one key that functions, the process is a little more complicated. It involves the dealer service technician replacing the computer module (called CIM or Twice unit) CIM or Twice unit) and then programming the key to it. It can take a few days, but it is usually less expensive than the dealer price.

Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (which are an amalgamation of the words "transmitter" and "responder") are used to stop auto theft by transmitting a unique radio signal to the car's immobilizer system when they are placed in the ignition. The signal is activated when the key is within reach of the vehicle and only works with the specific vehicle. It also contains microchips that have a digital serial number, which makes it extremely difficult for thieves to duplicate your keys or use stolen ones.
The chips cannot be read by scanners, therefore you'll need to contact a locksmith to replace your transponder key if you have lost it. The process of programming a transponder keys requires special tools that an average locksmith isn't equipped with. In some cases the chip may also need to be replaced, but this can be more time-consuming and complicated than creating a key using an ordinary blade.
The benefit of a transponder key is that it adds an extra layer of security. It also helps keep your car from being stolen. This is due to the fact that they are more difficult to copy than regular remote keys, and can only be copied with scanners that are specifically designed in working with this kind of key. They also work with many vehicles' immobilizers, which makes it difficult for a thief who is hot-wiring the vehicle to escape.
Keyless Entry Remotes
Many cars come with keyless entry systems that permit drivers to unlock their vehicle without the need to insert a car key. Typically, this is accomplished using a door-mounted keypad, the key fob (or "keychain remote"), or a handheld computing device that is able to communicate with the car's systems. These devices can also be used to lock and unlock the vehicle, turn on the ignition, or turn on the vehicle's lights.
The keyless entry system depends on the transmitter inside the fob as well as the receiver inside the car to communicate via the use of a unique code that is specific to each vehicle. Due to this, it's important to have your fob updated when you've got new keys or you need to replace a battery in your existing fob, or lose your fob's key.
Be cautious when purchasing a replacement key fob online because certain sellers won't ask you for proof of ownership, and they may ship the wrong key or even an empty shell. You can avoid these issues by having your key fob reprogrammed with a certified auto dealer or locksmith.
