What is a Skoda Superb Replacement Key?

The boom in SUVs is pushing large cars and wagons such as the sturdy Superb SportLine off the showroom floor. It's a shame, as this car is both attractive in the city and fun on back roads.

The four-cylinder Golf R-derived engine is quiet and powerful, too. The wagon also has a cavernous 660-litre boot with convenient hooks, tie-down points and a load cover.

What is the transponder key?

In simple terms, a transponder key is car keys that have an embedded microchip. The microchip communicates with the vehicle with an unidirectional, low-level electromagnetic signal. It transmits a coded signal to the receiver inside the car. It responds with the appropriate serial number that is stored in an engine control module. This allows your car to start and unlock the doors.

Transponders were developed in response to increased theft of cars. They are now a standard feature in most cars and are a deterrent to thieves by hotwiring your vehicle.

A transponder, or electronic chip is a device that is non-volatile that doesn't require constant power to store information. It's just a little bigger than the microchip inside your phone and appears a lot like a winding of fine wire.

These chips are in the majority of car keys manufactured since 1995. They also appear in smart keys, Remote Head Keys (RHK) as well as some key fobs.

Transponder keys are more expensive to replace than a flat key, however it offers an extra layer of security. You can also use the traditional car keys that are not transponder-based. These are the types that you'd have seen in older cars, and have grooves cut into the sides.

It is essential to replace the battery with authentic button cells that has the same size, voltage, and specifications as the original. Other reasons are worn buttons, bad contact between the battery and water damage. Signal interference could be caused by objects within the area of the vehicle, radio transmitters on the same frequency, or even a mobile phone next door. The key fob module may be faulty.

If the key fob is submerged in water, it is recommended to remove the battery and clean the electronic chip with isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner. This will prevent the internal chip being fried.

If the new key is not starting the car, it could mean that you've not transferred the transponder chip from the old key to the new one. To start the car using an alternative key, you need to hold it in close proximity to the vehicle to activate the transponder. If this is not the case, the key needs to be reprogrammed to the car by an approved dealer.
