The microchip inside your key will respond to a unique number of codes that the immobilizer of your vehicle can read. The immobilizer will then allow the engine to start when the right key is used.

Except for a few automobile models, the majority of modern vehicles use these keys. They are more secure than old-fashioned keys made of metal since they prevent a determined and skilled car thief from using a wire or any other method to start the vehicle.
