SIDEWINDER KEYS
BMW and Mercedes started using laser cut, or sidewinder keys many years ago.Now Honda, Acura, Toyota, Lexus, Infinity, and many more, including Pontiac, are using this style of key. A sidewinder key will not have the jagged edge of the standard key, instead the cuts are found on the 2 flat sides of the key. You may have had to go back to the car dealer to get duplicates of these keys before. SOS can make these for you. Contact us for details on your car.

TRANSPONDER KEYS
In the mid-90's car manufacturers started equipping vehicles with TRANSPONDERS. A transponder is a radio chip that comunicates with the onboard computer in the car. If the computer does not receive the correct signal from the transponder key, it will not start. As you can expect these keys are more costly than older designs. While it may seem expensive to have a duplicate made, it is very expensive to originate a key when all are lost.
