Transponder Chip The transponder chip - or "chip key" is an electronic microchip built into the head of your car key, it's also one of the most crucial security layers in your car. The term "transponder" is derived from the combination transmitter and responder. This is because, once the key is put into the ignition and the key is turned, the antenna on your car transmits radio frequency energy to the transponder chip. The chip responds with its unique identification code to the antenna ring. the car's computer will discern that code and determine if it's a valid key. If the key is not a transponder the vehicle will be unable to move. The chip is protected by a polycarbonate coating that prevents it from being cloned with mechanical keys that are used in regular use or copied using laser equipment.

When you insert your key into the ignition switch or Smart Key fob, the transponder chip inside it sends an encoded code to the vehicle's Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The ECU ensures that the information sent by the chip is identical to the one stored in it and then permits the engine to start. This is the principal way that your car's immobiliser prevents theft. If the code in the chip doesn't match with the code, the ECU stops the flow of current to the fuel pump relay as well as the injection system, keeping the engine from being started. The immobiliser may also disable the starter motor or ignition coil in order to prevent the engine being initiated by force. Unfortunately this method isn't impervious to hacks. Thieves can crack the code used to unlock the car's immobiliser system, and make it start. However, the most recent versions of these systems come with a more cryptographic sequences that is more difficult to guess. Since 1998 Immobilisers for cars are now obligatory.

If your car is equipped with a security chip, or transponder in the key, this will make replacing it more expensive. These chips send an electronic signal to the car that verifies your identity as the driver, and allows the doors to open and the engine to start. The average cost for the replacement of a smart key is about $160. ABUS recommends that you sign up your key code as soon as you can after you purchase.
