Transponder Keys

Most often found in modern cars transponder keys are typically found in newer cars.

When the transponder is placed into the ignition, the key transmits a message to the chip in the engine control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. The ECU checks to see if the key's code on the key matches the serial number digital of the ECU. If it does, the ECU disengages the immobilizer to allow the engine to start. If the code isn't compatible, then the ECU will refuse to accept the signal and stop the engine from beginning.

This means that when you push the key down it will move down a certain distance until it reaches the stopper or triggers an internal spring. When the key is pushed into the ignition the switch will send a signal to the car to turn it up.

Intelligent keys contain the chip that connects to the computer system of the vehicle. If you lose your keys, it must be replaced with a fresh one programmed to work for the vehicle. This requires a higher level of key technology that is only available through an automotive locksmith who is specifically trained, and will cost more than a regular replacement key from the dealership.
