Remote keys
These combine a cut blade, a transponder chip and buttons for locking and unlocking. The blade may be fixed or flip out from the fob.
Smart and proximity keys
A smart key communicates automatically with the vehicle. Most hide an emergency blade inside for use when the fob battery dies. Replacement generally costs more because of the electronics involved.
