A replacement key or fob with a transponder chip is a multi-stage process which includes precise cutting of replacement keys as well as programming the transponder chip to synch up with the vehicle's immobiliser. Transponders are electronic chip with Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) that has a set of windings (very fine wire that is wrapped around the tube) which look similar to ones in an electric motor. These windings form a coded signal that the car can read. If the code is valid, then the car will allow you to start it. There are two kinds of transponder chips. One is called the 80 bit and the other referred to as a circle + (General Motors). The first kind can be reused, but has to be removed using a special machine to function on another compatible vehicle. The second type is more difficult to use since the old ones can be damaged, drilled or thrown out when key cases are changed.

Immobiliser Systems Immobiliser systems are electronic security devices that prevent thieves from starting your car. It works by sending a signal from the car to the key when you attempt to start it. The chip inside your key responds by sending a unique code that must match the one in the vehicle to start. If the codes don't match, the engine will shut off immediately to prevent theft. Modern smart keys and fobs feature embedded transponder chips that stores electronic security in a format that cannot be easily duplicated. When your key or fob is put into the ignition, it transmits this code to a receiver in the ECU. The ECU is able to compare this code with the one that is stored in its memory and activates the fuel system and the ignition circuit if they match. If the codes do not match the engine won't start, even when the ignition circuit is short-circuited by a thief.

There are many different immobilisers used in different models and years and each has its own distinct programming process.
