Transponder Chip
The transponder chip - also known as "chip key" is an electronic micro-chip embedded in the head of your car key, it's also one of the most important security features of your vehicle. The term "transponder" is derived from the combination of the responder and transmitter and responder. This is because when the key is put into the ignition and turned on, the antenna ring on your car transmits a flash of radio frequency energy to the transponder chip. The chip responds by transmitting its unique identification code back to the antenna ring. The car's computer then analyzes this data and determines whether it is a valid or not.
The key must be a transponder one to start the car. If it is not, then the vehicle will remain in motion. The chip is protected by a polycarbonate layer that blocks it from being copied using mechanical keys that are used in regular use or copied with laser equipment. Beishir Lock and Security carries the largest selection of transponder keys at less than the price of dealerships selling cars.
Transponder chips first began to become popular in the 1980's after GM introduced them into the Corvette. This technology dramatically decreased vehicle thefts since it made hot-wiring a thing of the past. This is a very basic explanation of the chip key's function and should you have any concerns, feel free to contact us.
Immobiliser System
The engine immobiliser system (also called the anti-theft system) is an essential element of your vehicle's security. When you insert your key into the ignition switch or Smart Key fob, the transponder chip inside transmits an encoded code to the vehicle's Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The ECU examines whether the code generated by the chip matches the one stored in it before it allows the engine to start.
This is the primary method that the immobiliser of your car stops theft. If the code in the chip isn't compatible it, the ECU blocks the flow of current to the fuel pump relay and the injection system, keeping the engine from starting. The immobiliser could also disable the starter motor or ignition coil to prevent the engine from getting started by force.
Unfortunately, the system is not impervious to hacks. The code to unlock the immobiliser on your car can be hacked by thieves and used to open it. The most recent versions of the system employ an extended cryptographic code that will make it difficult to guess.
Car immobilisers have been required since 1998, however many cars had basic immobiliser systems before that. It is also worth noting that even though an immobiliser makes it more difficult to steal a car, it doesn't prevent thieves from towing away or breaking into the car to steal your belongings.
