When they are placed in a car that uses transponder technology, the chip transmits a low-level signal to a receiver located near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start, in the event that it has been programmed for it. Transponder chips were designed to deter car thieves, which is why they are present in a majority of modern vehicles. Transponder technology was first used in World War II, when coded messages were transmitted on radio frequencies to determine if aircraft arriving were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, transponder keys are standard on most new cars and are also retrofitted to older models. If your car is equipped with this type of security, you should always have a spare key, as the chip can only function properly if it's been scanned. However, this isn't foolproof, and some people have discovered ways to evade the transponder system, including tutorials and kits that describe how to bypass it using electrical relays and wiring.
