Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) have an electronic chip inside their heads. When inserted into a car that is equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits an low-level signal to the receiver near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start provided that it is programmed to it. Transponder chips are designed to prevent car theft and that is why the majority of modern cars have them.

In World War II, coded messages were broadcast over radio frequencies in order to determine whether an aircraft was friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, all new vehicles come equipped with them, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with the transponder chip.
