If you've got a key with a chip in it the head comes with a cover which can be pulled off to reveal an L-shaped metal key. A transponder-chip replacement key, also known as a fob is a multi-stage procedure. It involves cutting the keys accurately and programming the chip to connect with the vehicle immobiliser.

A transponder is an electronic chip that has Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) that houses a set of windings (very fine wire twisted around a tube) which look similar to ones in an electric motor. These windings produce a coded message that the car can read. If the code is correct, then the car will allow you to start it.

There are two kinds of transponder chips. One called the 80 bit and the other is known as a circle + (General Motors). The first is reusable but needs to be unlocked by a machine that is specially designed to be used in a compatible vehicle.

Immobiliser Systems

Immobiliser systems are electronic security devices which prevent thieves from starting your car. It works by sending a signal from the car to the key when you attempt to start it.

Modern smart keys and fobs contain an embedded transponder, which stores electronic security information in a format that is not easily copied. When the fob or key are placed in the ignition, they transmit this code to the ECU. The ECU is able to compare this code with the one stored in its memory and activates both the fuel system as well as the ignition circuit if they are compatible. If the codes don't match, your engine will not start - even if someone tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
