Transponder Chip

A transponder is a small circuit which is built into your car key. The chip is programmed with a unique code that is matched to the immobiliser system in your car. This ensures that only the correct key can be used to start your car.

Without the chip without the chip, your car won't start. When you switch on the ignition the transponder sends out an audio signal that is received by the immobiliser mechanism of the car.

Misplacing your car keys can be a real hassle.

A key fob is an electronic device made up of a computer chip and a metal shell. When the fob is in proximity to an electronic reader and the copper coils on both sides activate and convert the radio frequency signal into electricity. This energy is then transferred to the microcomputer in the fob. It transmits a unique number that acts as your identification card.

The key fob will be shown to the reader so that the information stored in the memory can be compared. This process is referred to as "key matching" and is used by the security system of your vehicle to confirm that you are the authorized owner of the vehicle. Once matched, the reader can then begin the engine and open the doors.
