The classic metal keys can be copied easily but the issue is that the electronic component of a key-fob needs to be matched to a specific vehicle in order to function.

Transponders A transponder can be described as an electronic chip inside a key fob that emits a unique signal.

It interprets the serial number from the transmission. If the number is in line, the car will begin. The majority of cars built in the last two decades utilize transponder keys. These are also used in airplanes. Air traffic control makes use of them to identify friendly aircraft with the use of a coded signal known as IFF (Identification Friends or Foe).

These systems are more sophisticated than conventional immobilizers, which use one fixed code. The newer versions have the capability of changing or rolling codes to make them more secure. The problem with these is that hackers still have the ability to find ways to hack the code, and then use keys to start your car.
