Transponder keys, a new form of security for cars, were introduced in the 1990s. They were developed in order to prevent auto theft by making it harder for thieves to hot wire your vehicle. Transponders, or electronic microchips that are embedded into your key's head, carry a unique identification code matching the anti-theft system of your vehicle. When a properly programmed key is put into the cylinder of the ignition lock it will emit the radio frequency energy. The antenna ring on your car will pick up this energy, and then the vehicle will transmit a message that contains the unique identification codes to the transponder. If the code matches the code, your car will begin.
