Immobilizer System

When you put your key in the ignition, it sends an ID code to a receiver within the car. If the ID code matches with one in its memory, then the car's computer allows the engine begin. If the ID code does not match, an immobilizer is triggered that prevents the car from getting started.

This technology works even if your keys are stolen however, it's not foolproof. It is possible to "hack" an anti-theft system that uses radio waves. A burglar could use an aerial antenna to pick up the signal and then spoof it to tell the vehicle that the key is in.

Experts are working on more secure methods to avoid this. Some offer WiFi connectivity as well as undetectable installation, and pin code entry using buttons on the dashboard.
