Keys equipped with transponder chips If your vehicle was manufactured in the last 20 years, it's almost certain that it has a key that contains a transponder. These devices, often called chip keys or ignition key, help prevent car thefts by making it more difficult for thieves to wire your vehicle. These keys are also used in garage door openers and home alarm systems. A transponder chip (pictured below) is a small microchip inside the head of your car key that sends signals to your car's computer when it's turned on and start the engine. The signal is transmitted through an antenna ring that surrounds the ignition cylinder. Your car must receive this signal in order to begin. If your car isn't able to read the signal from your key, it will shut down – this is referred to as the immobilizer system. In the days before this technology was widely used in cars the theft of cars was a major issue. Hot-wiring is a method that thieves often employ to take your car. By simply placing wires around the barrel of the ignition they could fool the computer of your car into thinking that an authentic key was used and allow the car to start. This new technology has helped eliminate the use of hot-wiring and, as a consequence, car thefts dropped drastically. GM was the first US manufacturer to utilize this technology in their 1985 Corvette. Since then, all major car manufacturers have implemented this technology into their automobiles. Most people are aware of how a transponder key looks. They appear like a key made of metal with an upper made of plastic. This plastic top is where the chip is located and is referred to as a “chip-key”. Keys can be cut in various styles, such as the standard laser cut (also known as sidewinder) or a tibbe key found on some Jaguars and Fords. The majority of transponder keys require specialized equipment in order to be programmed. However, some models of keys, such as GM and Ford can be programmed at home by using the owner's manual and an existing working key. Certain keys with chip technology have a microchip which does not require batteries. Others do and require charging the battery on a regular basis.
