Transponder Keys
Transponder keys are often found in more modern vehicles. They have an RFID microchip that transmits a unique vehicle code when keys are inserted into ignition.

If you want to know more about how this technology works, contact your local locksmith or dealership to schedule demonstrations.
When https://www.thekeylab.co.uk/nissan-car-keys/ is put into the ignition, the key transmits an electronic message to the chip within the engine control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. The ECU then checks to see whether the code contained in the key matches its own digital serial number. If it does, then the ECU will release the immobilizer so that the engine can start. If the code is not compatible with the code, the ECU will reject it and prevent the engine from beginning.
