Transponder chips are relatively new technology and are usually built into your car's key head. These chips are specifically designed to send a unique digital serial number when the key is put into the ignition. This information is read by the transponder reader inside the car, which is linked with the ignition. If the data matches, the car's transponder reader, it will start. This method is more secure than mechanical keys since it avoids hot wiring. However, it is not foolproof. Thieves have devised methods to circumvent this security feature.

They have the same tools as a dealership and will provide you with a functional replacement key at a lower price. There is a specific kind of car key, known as the Fobik remote key, which has a transponder built into it. These keys are typically used on Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge automobiles. They are also found on Mercedes and Infiniti vehicles. These keys are difficult to duplicate and require more programming than standard keys. The development of transponder key technology has brought benefits for car manufacturers. However, it has not eliminated the possibility of theft from cars. This is because thieves have developed methods to steal cars using the technology. Despite this transponder keys remain the most effective way of decreasing the likelihood of car theft.

Keys equipped with transponder chips If your car was manufactured in the past 20 years, it's almost certain that it is equipped with keys that have transponders. Typically called chip keys or ignition keys These devices can help prevent car theft by making it more difficult for thieves to hot wire your vehicle. These keys are also used in garage door openers and home alarm systems. Transponder chips (pictured below) are tiny microchips embedded in the head of your car keys that transmit a signal to the computer in your vehicle when the key is used to turn on the ignition and start the motor. The signal is sent through an antenna ring around the ignition cylinder and must be received by your car in order for it to start. If your car isn't capable of reading the signal from your key, it will shut down – this is known as the immobilizer system. During the time before this technology was widely used in cars car theft was a major concern. Many thieves would use the simple technique of hot-wiring your vehicle. By simply placing an electrical wire around the barrel of your ignition and then tampering with the computer in the car to believe that a valid key was being used, and then allow the car to start. This new technology helped to eliminate hot-wiring and, as a consequence, car thefts decreased significantly. GM was the first US manufacturer to utilize this technology in their 1985 Corvette. Since since then the major auto makers have implemented the technology into their vehicles. Many people are familiar with the way a regular transponder key appears, they look like a traditional metal key with an attractive plastic top. This plastic top is the location of the chip and is called a “chip-key”. Keys can be cut in a variety of styles including a standard cut, laser cut (also called a sidewinder cut) or even a tibbe that can be found in Jaguars and Fords. The majority of transponder keys require special equipment to be programmed to your specific vehicle. However, certain key brands like GM and Ford, can be programmed at home by using the owner's manual and an existing working key. Certain keys with chip technology have a microchip that doesn't need a battery. Others do and require charging the battery periodically.
