Many people are afraid of being locked out of their home and therefore keep a spare key in a secure location.

Transponder Chip The transponder chip - or "chip key" is an electronic microchip embedded in the head of your car key, it's also one of the main security layers in your car. The term "transponder" originates from the combination transmitter and responder. This is because, after the key has been inserted into the ignition, and the key is turned into the ignition, the antenna of your car transmits a radio frequency energy to a transponder chip. The chip responds by sending its unique identification code back to the antenna ring. The car's computer analyzes this data and determines whether it's valid or not. If the key isn't transponder, the vehicle will be impounded. The chip is protected by a special polycarbonate coating which prevents it from being copied with mechanical keys that are used in regular use or copied by laser equipment. Beishir Lock and Security offers an extensive selection of transponder keys at a fraction the cost of car dealers. In the 1980s, GM began to introduce transponder chips in the Corvette.

Immobiliser System The engine immobiliser system (also called the anti-theft system) is a vital aspect of your car's security. When you insert your key into the ignition switch or Smart Key fob, the transponder chip inside sends an electronic code to the vehicle's Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The ECU verifies that the code generated by the chip matches the one stored in it and then permits the engine to start. This is the main way the immobiliser in your car prevents theft. If the code on the chip does not match with the code on the chip, the ECU will stop the flow of current from the fuel pump relay to the injection system and prevent the engine from getting started. In addition the immobiliser may disable the starter motor or the ignition coil to stop the engine from starting by force. Unfortunately the system isn't completely secure. Thieves are able to crack the code that allows you to unlock your car's immobiliser system and then start it. However, the newest versions of these systems feature a a longer cryptographic sequence that will be difficult to determine. Car immobilisers are mandatory from 1998, but a lot of cars were equipped with basic immobilisers prior to that. While an immobiliser makes it harder to steal a vehicle it does not stop thieves from towing your vehicle away or breaking in to steal your belongings. Key Replacement Losing a remote or key fob can be expensive and a hassle. A locksmith will need to gain access to the vehicle to decode the VIN or run it, and then reprogram the new replacement key to erase all previous signatures on the computer for keys that have been stolen, lost or damaged. A key replacement will be more expensive if your car is equipped with a transponder or security chip. These chips send a signal to your car to verify that you are the driver and permit the doors to be opened or the engine to be started. The cost of the replacement of a smart key is about $160.
