Transponder
Before transponder keys was a standard feature in cars, it was fairly easy for thieves to steal an automobile. They could simply force the ignition switch to the off position and then turn it up. This is no longer an option as modern vehicles come with an anti-theft security system embedded in the key.
The microchip in the key is a miniature device that has non-volatile (meaning that it does not erase when power is cut) memory. The chip is equipped with a unique serial number, which is used as the "password" to turn on the engine. When the key is inserted into your ignition, the chip will transmit this password to the receiver in the immobilizer of your car.
