When they are inserted into a vehicle that uses transponder technology, the chip sends low-level signals to a receiver near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to send this signal it will trigger the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are designed to protect cars from theft, which is why most modern vehicles use them.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys in the home are long gone and landlords can now provide tenants with better security by installing an entry system that is keyless.
