The Immobilizer Chip

A key that is chipped, also known as a Smart Key, has a RFID microchip that transmits a passcode from the keys to the immobilizer system of the vehicle. If the code on the chip is identical to the one on the car's system the car will start.

This is an important anti-theft measure that prevents car thieves from hotwiring the immobilizer or bypassing it in any other way. If the immobilizer cannot recognize the key the engine won't be turned on if anyone attempts to short-circuit ignition circuit.
