When the key is inserted into an automobile that uses transponder tech the chip transmits an unintentional message to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to transmit this signal it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips are made to stop theft of cars which is why a majority of modern vehicles have them.

Transponder technology was first used during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted on radio frequencies to determine whether the aircraft that was incoming was friendly or hostile.

Proximity keys

Proximity keys are the latest keyless entry solutions, which are becoming more popular in a variety of vehicles.

The key fob then communicates with the car, removing the immobiliser while allowing the engine to start.

However proximity key systems have certain disadvantages. If the fob of your key is damaged or lost, it will not be used to start your vehicle. It could be expensive to get a locksmith replace it. Batteries also provide power to the fobs. So they'll need to be changed frequently.

Despite their disadvantages the proximity key technology is an excellent invention for drivers who don't want to be locked out of their car. In case of emergency, make sure you have a backup key handy if you own a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop-A Lock to inquire about services and costs.
