In general, it is best to use original car keys. Keys are a common unlocking tool in daily life, primarily made from materials such as copper, zinc, aluminum, iron, and other metals. Car keys are embedded within the remote key fob for use when the remote's battery is low. Remote keys operate by emitting weak radio waves to receive signals. Using a remote key makes switching the car on and off, as well as starting and stopping the engine, more convenient. The advancement of car keys signifies the continuous development of the automotive industry, with remote keys enhancing the ease of car usage. Differences between original and generic keys: Some key blanks may appear metallic but are of very poor quality, breaking after a short period of use even before showing signs of wear. These blanks cannot be distinguished by the naked eye alone, but a simple test—dropping them lightly onto a hard surface like concrete or glass—can reveal the difference. High-quality metal blanks produce a clear metallic sound, while inferior ones emit a dull, muted sound similar to plastic hitting a hard surface.

Why is the Magotan's air conditioner not blowing hot air?

The reasons why the Magotan's air conditioner is not blowing hot air include: 1. The valve of the heater water pipe and the heater core are clogged; 2. The thermostat is stuck open or opens too early, causing the cooling system to circulate prematurely. In low external temperatures, the cold air cools the antifreeze, preventing the engine water temperature from rising; 3. The water pump impeller is damaged or slipping, resulting in insufficient flow through the heater core; 4. There is an airlock in the engine cooling system, which causes poor circulation in the cooling system, leading to high water temperature and insufficient heating. The car air conditioner can adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and air flow inside the vehicle cabin to the optimal state, providing passengers with a comfortable riding environment and reducing travel fatigue. The car air conditioner generally includes a refrigeration device, a heating device, and a ventilation device.
