A transponder-chip replacement key, also known as a fob is a process that involves multiple stages. It involves cutting the keys accurately and programming the chip to make it sync with the vehicle's immobiliser. Transponders are electronic chip that has Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) which contains a set of windings (very fine wire twisted around the tube) which look similar to ones in an electric motor. The windings generate a coded message that the car is able to read. If the code is correct then the car will allow you to start it up. There are two kinds of transponder chips, one called the 80 bit and the other known as a circle + (General Motors). The first type is reusable, however it needs to be unlocked with a special machine in order to work on a vehicle that is compatible with the. The latter one is more difficult since the earlier keys are usually damaged, drilled through or discarded when key cases are replaced.

Immobiliser Systems An immobiliser is a security measure that uses electronic technology which prevents thieves from opening your car. It works by sending an electronic signal from the vehicle to the key each time you attempt to start it. The electronic chip in your key then responds with an unique code that must match the one found in the vehicle to start. If the codes don't match, the engine will stop immediately, and stop theft of your vehicle. Modern smart keys and fobs come with an embedded transponder chip that stores electronic security in a format that cannot be easily duplicated. When the fob or key are inserted in the ignition, they send this code to the ECU. The ECU is able to compare this code with the one stored in its memory, and it activates the fuel system and the ignition circuit if they match. If the codes do not match, the engine won't start – even if a thief tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit. The procedure of replacing keys or fobs involves a multi-stage procedure that includes cutting the new key blade precisely and programming it to ensure that it syncs with your car's security system. There are many different immobilisers used in different years and models and each one requires an individual programming procedure.
