Transponder Keys
A lot of the time, in newer automobiles transponder keys usually have an RFID microchip embedded in the key that transmits a unique code to the car when it is installed in the ignition. The idea behind this technology is to prevent theft by ensuring that only the proper key is able to start the car. If you want to know more about the technology's working and how it works, call your local locksmith or dealership to schedule an explanation.
When the transponder key is placed in the ignition, it transmits a signal to the chip within the vehicle's engine control unit (ECU). The ECU checks if the code on the key matches the digital serial number of the ECU. If it does, the ECU disengages the immobilizer to allow the engine to start. If the code doesn't match with the code, the ECU will reject it and stop the engine from starting.
