Transponder Keys The newer keys for cars have tiny embedded electronic chips in contrast to older models of keys that require a mechanical insert into the ignition cylinder. These chips emit a tiny signal when inserted into the ignition. This signal is recognized by the vehicle immobilizer. If The Key Lab recognizes the signal and finds it matches its code it will release the ignition piston and allow the vehicle to begin. If the immobilizer fails to recognize the signal, the engine will not turn and thieves would be discouraged from trying to hot-wire the car. Transponder keys have a larger head comprised of rubber or plastic than traditional keys. The key's head is where the chip is located, and needs to be programmed for the car to recognize it.

Based on the specific car you have the key might need to be programmed using a special method and programming pattern. Fortunately, this won't be an issue for locksmiths as they have access to the same tools that car dealerships do. In fact, most locksmiths can reprogram the chip in real time and have a new key in hand within a matter.
