However, many people buy second-hand keys off the internet that are not programmed to their car. This can be a much cheaper alternative to going to the dealer. But, these key will not start the car because they will not have a transponder chip inside them. You can see the chip (yellow) in this picture below, it is a Dual Inline Package or DIP 18 pin chip. There are also a diode, transistor and resonator, all these parts make up the key's circuit.
Immobilisers
As car immobilisers became popular in the last decade, car thefts began to fall, but thieves are smart and always looking for ways around security systems. The first immobilisers could be removed by using a scanner to locate the code on the chip and copying it onto a blank key. But technology has improved and thieves are forced to think of new tricks.
Fortunately the majority of the immobilisers we offer and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means they have been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This not-for-profit organisation is the grading system and approval system for aftermarket alarms and security devices, such as car immobilisers.

Transponders
A transponder is an instrument that transmits an identifying signal when interrogated. This allows for the separation between aircrafts and also identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is operating a radar system. The information that the transponder relays to air traffic control varies depending on the type of system.
Transponders are also used in space vehicles and satellites to communicate with Earth-based systems like cell phone networks and other communication networks. These devices receive signals on a variety of frequencies and then retransmit the signals using a different spectrum, similar to how repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks function.
Often sophisticated passive transponders may be found on aircraft. They monitor flight status and provide information about navigation like the aircraft's position and speed, as well as altitude. Air traffic controllers use data from these transponders to control flight routes and ensure security.
In addition to transponders for aircraft Many personal keys have a small transponder. These chips are non-active and do not require batteries. This lets the ECU to read the signal from the transponder when it is placed in the ignition lock.
Most aircrafts have a switch on the flight deck that allows pilots to turn on or off their transponders. They can also select an "ident" mode that lets the transponder to transmit its unique squawk codes, which makes it stand out the busy air traffic control screen.
