Keys that have transponder chips If your vehicle was manufactured in the past 20 years, it is almost certain that it is equipped with an ignition key that has transponders. Often referred to as chip keys or ignition keys these devices help to prevent car theft by making it more difficult for thieves to hot wire your vehicle. These keys are also used in garage door openers as well as home alarm systems. Transponder chips (pictured below) are tiny microchips inserted in the head part of your car keys. They send a signal to the computer in your vehicle whenever the key is used to turn the ignition on and start the motor. The signal is transmitted through an antenna ring that surrounds the ignition cylinder. Your car needs to receive this signal in order to start. If your car is not capable of recognizing the signal from your key, it will simply shut down – this is referred to as the immobilizer system. In the days before this technology was widely used in cars, car theft was a major concern. Many thieves would use the simple method of wiring your vehicle. They could trick the computer of the car into thinking that the key was valid by simply wrapping wires around it. This new technology has helped eliminate hot-wiring and as a result the theft rate of cars decreased drastically. GM was the first US manufacturer to use this technology in their 1985 Corvette. Since then, all major car manufacturers have integrated this technology into their automobiles. Most people are familiar with how a transponder key appears. They look like a key made of steel with a top made of plastic. This plastic top is the location of the chip and is referred to as”chip-key “chip-key”. You can get these keys cut in various styles, including the standard cut, a laser cut (also known as a sidewinder cut) or even a tibbe key which is found in some Jaguars and Fords.
