Transponder Chips

The chip is a tiny electronic micro-circuit that communicates with the car's ECU to open the doors and start the engine. When the car's key is placed in the ignition the antenna ring that is on the ignition sends out a burst of radio frequency energy that is received by the transponder chip. The chip then sends back a signal that contains the unique code. The ECU reads the code to determine if the key is authorised to be used in the car.
