In simple terms, a transponder key is car keys that have an embedded microchip. This microchip transmits information to the vehicle via a low-level, unique electromagnetic signal. It transmits a coded message to the receiver inside your car. It then responds with a match serial number that is stored in the engine control unit. This allows your car to start up and then unlock the doors.

Transponders were designed in response to rising rates of car theft. They are now standard on almost all cars, and are a deterrent to thieves using hotwires to steal your car.

A transponder, also known as an electronic chip is a device that is non-volatile that does not require constant power to keep information. It's slightly larger than the microchip that you have on your phone, and looks like a coil of fine wire.

Signal interference is another factor and is caused by objects near the vehicle, radio transmitters operating on the same frequency or even a neighbouring mobile phone. The key fob's module could be faulty.
