A flip key is an automotive key that has a folding key blade built into the remote head. The metal blade flips in and out of the key housing with the press of a button, similar to a switchblade style design.
A flip key combines the key blade and remote functions into one compact unit, so it is commonly used for locking, unlocking, and starting the vehicle, depending on the vehicle’s system. A flip key is popular because it is convenient, easy to carry, and helps protect the key blade when it is folded closed.
