They are used to disarm immobiliser systems. If you have a key with a chip, the head is covered in a plastic cover which can be pulled off to reveal an L-shaped metal key. A replacement key or fob made of transponder chips is a multi-stage method that includes accurate cutting of the key replacements and programming the transponder chip so that it can synch up with the vehicle's immobiliser.A transponder is an electronic chip with Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) that houses a set of windings (very fine wire that is wrapped around the tube) that look like the ones found in an electric motor. The windings create a coded signal that the car can read. If the code is correct then the car will allow you to start it up.There are two kinds of transponder chip, the first is called the 80-bit while the other is called the circle + (General Motors).

The ECU compares this code with the one that is stored in its memory, and activates the fuel system and the ignition circuit if they are compatible. If the codes don't match, the engine will not start, even if the ignition circuit is damaged by a thief.Replacing a fob or key is a multi-stage procedure that involves accurate cutting of the new key blade and programming it to work with your car's immobiliser system.
