Transponder chip

The transponder is a chip with a unique code. When it is inserted into the ignition the transponder chip transmits an electronic signal to the immobilizer system of the vehicle.

If the signal doesn't match the computer of the car, it will shut off the ignition and stop it from starting. This feature makes it much difficult for thieves to steal the vehicle.
