Before transponder keys was commonplace in cars, it was fairly easy for thieves a car. They could push the ignition switch to the on position and then start your vehicle. This is no longer possible, as modern cars come with an anti-theft security chip that is embedded in the key.

The key's microchip is a miniature electronic device that has a non-volatile memory (meaning it won't erase once the power is cut). The chip is equipped with a unique serial number that is used as the "password" to start the engine. When you insert the ignition key this chip sends the password to the receiver in your immobilizer. If the code is correct, the car will start and you can start your journey.

If you lose your transponder keys in the event of a loss, you'll need to find a trusted locksmith who will replace it.
