If you've got keys that has a chip inside it, the head comes with a cover that can be taken off to reveal an L-shaped metal key. A transponder-chip replacement key, also known as a fob is a multistage process. It involves cutting the keys precisely and programming the chip to communicate with the vehicle immobiliser. A transponder is a type of chip that has Non-Volatile Memory. It has a set of windings, which are very fine wires coiled around a tube. They look like the ones in an electric motor. These windings produce a coded message that the car read. If the code is correct the car will begin to move. There are two types of transponder chip, the one is known as the 80-bit and the other is known as the circle + (General Motors). The first is reusable but it needs to be unlocked by a special machine to work in another compatible vehicle.

Immobiliser Systems Immobiliser systems are electronic security devices that deter thieves from starting up your vehicle. It operates by sending an electronic signal from the vehicle to the key whenever you attempt to start it. The electronic chip inside the key responds by transmitting a unique code that must match the one of the vehicle to allow it to start. If the codes don't coincide, your engine will shut down immediately to stop theft. Modern smart keys and fobs come with an embedded transponder, which stores electronic security information in a format that can't be copied easily. When the fob or key are inserted into the ignition, they transmit this code to the ECU. The ECU is then able to compare it with the code that is stored in its memory and then activates the ignition and fuel system circuit if they match. If the codes don't match and the engine does not start, even when the ignition circuit is cut off by a criminal.
