• Presently, a transponder system is either onboard programming or a closed system, with the exception of GM. • GM keys can be programmed to the car or duplicated on the RW2. • Pre-programmed keys for onboard programming and blank transponder keys for use with the RW2 will have different references. • The Ilco Reference for onboard programming will end in PT and the RW2 version will end in T5. • Onboard programming systems allow the addition of keys by inserting the key in the ignition. • Closed systems require special equipment such as the RW2 for adding working keys or duplication.
