The receiver decodes serial numbers from the transmission. If the number matches the car's serial number, it starts. Transponder keys can be found in the majority of cars built in the past two decades.

They are also utilized in aircrafts. ATC uses them to identify friendly aircraft by an encoded signal, IFF (Identification Friend or Foe).
