When they are fitted into a car that is equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits an unintentional signal to a receiver located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so, it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips are designed to protect cars from theft which is why a majority of modern cars have them.

They permit drivers to unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle with the key fob in their purse or pocket.
