GMC TRANSPONDER AND PROXIMITY KEY

GMC (General Motors Company) manufacture commercial trucks, pickup, buses, vans, sport and military vehicles since 1912. Until the the middle of the 90's GMC used a traditional key and lock system to enter and start its vehicles, but just like most other car manufacturers, started the use an electric lock mechanism with encoded transponder chip inside the key and a computer embedded within the car. The idea was to prevent vehicle theft using an immobilizer to interlock the ignition when someone try to start the vehicle without the original VAT (vehicle anti theft) key, the decoder reads the correct resistance when the driver crank the car.

The GMC VATS key uses a resistor mounted in the key head to make sure that the right key was inserted to the slot to start the vehicle engine. common misconception done by many people is to call the resistor pellet a chip due to the digital circuit that identify the key to the car. However, it is not a silicon integrated circuits chip, but merely a carbon block designed to have a specific electrical resistance. GMC uses fifteen different pinning codes resistance values which makes vehicle theft very difficult.

In the early 2000, GMC introduced the standard for keyless entry smart key called "Proximity Key" that controls access vehicle to replace the traditional mechanical key. The Proximity Key allow the driver to unlock the car doors, keeping the key fob the pocket, push to start the engine, The vehicle identify the Proximity key is via antenna in the car and a radio pulse generator inside the key and depend of the programmed functionality, Depending on the system, the vehicle unlock automatically when the door/trunk handle releases, or when button on the remote fob is pressed. GMC Truck or car smart key also have a mechanical backup valet spare key in the form of a key blade in the remote itself.
