What is a Transponder?

A transponder is a part of the key which disarms the immobiliser when it is used to start the engine of a vehicle. They have mostly become an industry standard in all modern cars manufactured after 1997.

How does it Work?

When you place your key into the ignition barrel and turn it to start your vehicle, the barrel emits a magnetic field which in-turn sends a small amount of power to the microchip/RFID chip located in the head of the key.

With this small charge, the transponder chip is able to communicate with the Engine Control Unit/Immobiliser Unit contained within the vehicle itself. If the codes from the transponder chip matches that of the immobiliser unit, the vehicle will start. However, if the codes do not match, or the vehicle is attempted to be started with a standard key, the engine will not start.

We do caution that attempting to start a car with an unprogrammed transponder key will more than likely shut the Engine Control Unit down which completely immobilises your vehicle.
