Standard Keys
A Standard car Key is a basic metal key that has no transponder chip in it. Many times a standard key will have a plastic or rubber grip in the thumb area of the key but some keys do not have this and are just all metal.
Transponder Keys
Transponder keys have a larger head than a standard key because in the head of the key is the transponder chip. A transponder key needs to be programed into the car for the key to be able to start your car. Some people also call this kind of key a chip key.
High Security Keys
A high security key is the next step up from a basic transponder key. It still has a chip in it and it must be programed into the car for it to work. The big difference is in the cutting of the key a high security key needs to be cut on a special key cutter that cuts tracks into or on the outside of the key. This kind of key is many times called a laser cut key.
PROXIMITY Keys
The Proximity or (Prox) key is the wave of the future and is popping up in more and more cars each year. The Prox key still needs to be programed into the car but then you do not use a key to start the car, you just push the start button. You must have the Prox key in your pocket or close by for it to communicate with the car's ignition or the car will not start.
