Abstract
A method for replicating a transponder key is disclosed. A first device reads a transponder code from a transponder key; captures bitting characteristics of the transponder key; and transmits the transponder code and the bitting characteristic of the transponder key to a remote location. An internet compatible device receives the transmitted transponder data and communicates it to a transponder duplication device at the remote location.
Claims16
A method for replicating a transponder key, the method comprising:
- inserting a first transponder key into a transponder key replication device;
- obtaining a transponder code from the first transponder key;
- capturing an image of a bitting characteristic of the first transponder key using a camera;
- transmitting the transponder code and the image of the bitting characteristics to a computer;
- preparing a second transponder key according to the bitting characteristics;
- and
- programming the second transponder key with the obtained transponder code from the first transponder key.
