Transponder Keys

Instead of flat metal keys that are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys have an electronic microchip inside their key heads. When they are fitted into a car that uses transponder technology, the chip transmits an low-level signal to the receiver near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to transmit this signal it will trigger the engine to start. Transponder chips were developed to stop car thieves from stealing cars which is why they are in use in many modern automobiles.
