I got a key made for my car at Home Depot and the guy who made them insisted that, since the key had no chip, t the ignition lock could grab the key and not let it out. Any truth to that for some cars?
He also said the door could do the same thing? Any truth to that?
Mostly I wanted a cheap key to open the doors and the turnk if I lock my keys inside** but 3 years ago I lost 3 keys in one year, and if I do that again, I keep thinking that I could defeat the "immobilizer" that requires the key with the chip? Any chance of that?
The shop manual isn't much help. It shows 3 wires to the engine computer (from the chip amplifier), and seems to imply the voltage on one or more has a certain wave shape.
Thanks
**I did lock my keys inside my trunk once, when partially changing clothes before going tubing. Had to ask a girl to drive me 20 miles home and 20 miles back for spare keys.
