Transponder Keys
Contrary to the flat metal keys which operate mechanically by cutting the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys have an electronic microchip embedded in their key heads. When inserted into a car that has transponder technology, the chip transmits low-level signals to a receiver located close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips are made to protect cars from theft and that is why the majority of modern vehicles have them.
Transponder technology first came into use during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted on radio frequencies to determine whether the aircraft that was incoming was friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, all new vehicles come equipped with keys that have transponder chips, and they are also popular for older models that are retrofitted to include them.

There are some who have discovered ways to trick this system. They include kits and tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder using wires and electrical relays.

When using a traditional key, if you touch the lock and it opens, you'll know you have the key. You must be within a certain distance to activate the proximity-sensing key.
