What is a transponder key? How do they work?

Modern vehicle systems are no longer controlled by just a mechanical key. Nearly all vehicles manufactured since 1998, and many before that, are equipped with a security system that prevents an unprogrammed key from starting or allowing the vehicle to run. An RFID chip in the vehicle provides a digital identity to the vehicle when it is electrically charged with an inductive radio signal from the car. This radio wave charges up the transponder in the key until it triggers a response from the key.

Transponder Key • Transponders (artificial word made up of TRANSmitter / resPONDER) belong to the group of electronic devices that operate according to the RF-ID (Radio Frequency – IDentification) technology. Thereby the system consisting of transponder and reading unit enables a contactless detection and allocation of objects. The transponder is powered by inductive coupling so that no batteries are necessary.

The transponder key has the transponder electronic integrated in its plastic handle where it is encapsulated in a glass or plastic body. It consists of:

– A microchip that contains the unique key ID-number. Due to an encrypted request signal from the immobilizer control module the chip calculates a matching code for the ID-number before it is transferred. To prevent an unauthorized scanning of the ID-number the code changes with each transfer and uses several million different coding possibilities.

– A coil, which transfers and receives all data signals to and from the immobilizer control module via the coil antenna / transceiver.

– A capacitor that powers the transponder electronic and is charged by inductive coupling through the coil antenna / transceiver

Also many keys have combined the key and remote into one key. These are referred to as a Remote Head Key and in some cases the key may ‘flip’ out of the body of the key such as on a Volkswagen vehicle. These are nick-named ‘Flippy Keys’ by many customers and they are no problem for us to make on the spot.
