But, these key will not start the car because they will not have a transponder chip inside them. You can see the chip (yellow) in this picture below, it is a Dual Inline Package or DIP 18 pin chip. There are also a diode, transistor and resonator, all these parts make up the key's circuit.

Immobilisers

When car immobilisers began to become more popular in the late nineties car theft figures began to drop, however thieves are smart and constantly seeking ways to circumvent security systems. The first immobilisers could be defeated by using a scanner to locate the chip's code and then copying it onto the blank key. However, technology has advanced and thieves have to devise new methods to get around security systems.

Luckily, the majority immobilisers that we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means that they've been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organization is responsible for the grading system and the approval of aftermarket security devices for automobiles and alarm devices, including car immobilisers.

A transponder is an instrument which transmits an identifying signal when interrogated. It identifies the aircraft to air traffic control if it is on a radar system and helps to maintain the distance between aircrafts. The information that the transponder transmits back is different according to the kind of system.

Transponders can also be found in satellites and spacecraft to connect with Earth systems like cell phone networks and other communication networks. They receive signals across a variety of frequencies, and then transmit them at another frequency, just like repeaters work in land-based cell phone networks.

The most sophisticated passive transponders are typically found on board aircraft. They monitor flight status and provide navigational information such as the aircraft’s position along with speed and altitude. Transponders provide information that air traffic controllers utilize to control flight paths, and ensure safety.

Many personal keys contain transponder chips in addition to transponders for aircraft. These chips don't require batteries and are purely passive. This lets the ECU to read the signal from the transponder once it is placed in the ignition lock.

The flight deck of many aircrafts has a switch that pilots can press to turn their transponders off or off. They can also select an "ident" mode that lets the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk codes, which helps it stand out the crowded air-traffic control screen.
