Transponder keys became standard issue from car manufacturers in around 1998 in a bid to prevent car theft. If the correct key is not used the immobiliser does not allow the engine to turn over. The word 'transponder' is a blend of transmit and respond and that is how they work; a signal is transmitted and requires the correct response. Transponder keys have a small chip embedded in the thick plastic part of the key which gives a certain response to an electro-magnetic signal issued by the vehicle's ignition.
