Transponder Keys

In contrast to flat metal keys that are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip in their key heads. When the key is put into an automobile equipped with transponder tech the chip sends an informational low-level message to the receiver that is located near the ignition switch.

Transponder chips are designed to stop car thieves from stealing cars, which is why they are in use in many modern cars.

During World War II, coded messages were broadcast over radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same concept was later used to create car keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model.
