Transponder Keys

Contrary to the flat metal keys which are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys have an electronic microchip embedded in their key heads. When the key is put into a vehicle that utilizes transponder technology the chip transmits an insignificant message to a receiver located near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start, if it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to protect cars from theft and that is why the majority of modern vehicles use them.
