If you've got keys that has a chip inside it, the head is covered with a plastic cover that is able to be pulled off to reveal an L-shaped metal key. A transponder-chip replacement key or fob is a multi-stage process. It involves cutting the keys with precision and programming the chip to communicate with the vehicle's immobiliser.

A transponder is a device that has Non-Volatile Memory. It has a set windings, which are delicate wires that are twisted around the tube. They resemble the ones in an electric motor. The windings generate a coded message that the car can read. If the code is correct the car will start.

There are two kinds of transponder chips. The first is called the 80-bit and the second is called the circle + (General Motors). The former can be reused but needs to be unlocked by a machine that is specially designed to be used in a compatible vehicle.
