The term "transponder" is derived from the combination of the responder and transmitter, this is because once the key is inserted into the ignition and then turned, the antenna ring on your car transmits a flash of radio frequency energy to the transponder chip. The chip responds by transmitting its unique identification code back to the antenna ring. The computer in the car deciphers this information and determines whether it is a valid or not.

The key must be a transponder key to start the car, if it's not, the vehicle will remain in motion. The chip is protected with a polycarbonate layer which prevents it from being copied or cloned using regular mechanical keys.
