If your car key is starting to stick or the buttons feel mushy, you might wonder if you can still get a copy made before it completely dies. The answer is yes, but only if the chip and transponder inside are still functioning. A good locksmith can read the key's code and create a duplicate while the original still transmits. Once the key fully fails, it often can't be copied because the internal electronics stop sending a readable signal.
