The Immobilizer System

The Immobilizer Chip

A key that is chipped or Smart Key, has a RFID microchip which transmits a passcode from the key to the immobilizer system of the car. If the code in a chip matches the code in the immobilizer system of the car, the car will begin.

Modern cars are equipped with the latest electronic Engine Immobilizers that make use of rolling/changing codes. This means that every time the key is used, the smart system changes the second code, and then pushes it into the chip inside the key. The first code remains permanent and each time the key is turned on in the ignition, the immobilizer processes the two codes to determine if they are compatible.
