Keyless Entry

Immobilizer System

When you insert your key into the ignition, it transmits an ID code to a receiver inside the car. The computer will allow the engine to start if the ID code is similar to the previous one that is stored in the car. If the ID code does not match, an immobilizer will be activated, which stops the car from starting.

This technology works even if your keys are stolen, but it's not foolproof. It is possible to "hack", or manipulate the anti-theft radio wave system. A criminal can employ an aerial antenna and spoof the signal to tell that the car's key is in the ignition.
