Keyless Entry System
Skoda’s modern keyless entry system allows the user to open and start the car without removing the key. The system works by using radio signals that are sent by the vehicle and the keyfob searches for them. When the key fob falls within a certain distance of the vehicle, it transmits its own signal back to the car that can then confirm that it is the right key.

Transponder Chips
Transponder chips can be found in older models with keys made of metal or newer models with keys made of plastic. This technology has dramatically reduced the rate of car theft, giving you peace of assurance.
When you insert your key into the ignition of your car it emits an indication that includes the "password" to activate the security system to prevent theft. This makes it so that only the owner of the vehicle can start it, making it almost impossible for thieves. It also helps to stop hot-wiring which used to be a typical method of stealing vehicles in the past.
The regular car key with transponder 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 will reside. This type of key can be cut in various ways, including the standard cut, a laser cut (also known as a sidewinder cut) or a tibbe, that is found in Jaguars and some Ford vehicles. The key itself is made in a variety of designs but the majority of Skoda models are made using the standard cut.
While it's not a good idea to attempt to duplicate a transponder's key yourself, you can let a professional locksmith do it for you. The cost could be a bit higher than duplicating a standard key, but it's still much less expensive than replacing your entire key assembly.
It is possible to ask the auto locksmith or dealership whether the vehicle you own has transponder technology. If it is, then you can be confident that the newer keys will are functional when you need to be replaced.
