I'm doing a RS on my gf's car, it's a 2003 hyundai elantra. Is there a simple way to check if the key has a transponder?

Unless your car was bought in Canada, it won't have a transponder.

$2 at most to find out. Get the key cut at homedepot or somewhere. Start the car with the cut key. If it start, then there is no transponder. If it doesn't, then you know something is inside the key.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. How to tell if key has transponder? -- posted image.
