Transponder Chips

This ensures that only the owner can start the car, making it virtually impossible for thieves to take your vehicle. It also prevents hot-wiring, which was believed to be a typical method used to steal vehicles in the past.
The regular transponder car key is similar to a key made of metal, except that the top of the key has the cap made of plastic. This is where the transponder resides. Keys of this kind can be cut in different ways, such as cutting a standard cut, laser cut (also known as a sidewinder cut) or a tibbe key, that is found in Jaguars and some Ford automobiles. The key can be cut in different styles however the standard cut is employed on most Skoda vehicles.
