What does a car transponder chip look like?


This is a picture of a transponder chip that lives in almost every car key today. It holds information that your car needs to see to allow it to start. So small but so important !

Car Keys and remotes are not what they used to be, the modern car is now a computer on wheels. In 1995 the "transponder" security system was invented in Germany. It was designed to protect their major car brands BMW, Audi and Mercedes. These cars were the first to come on the market with a "factory" designed and installed anti theft system. From there Japan came on board with their brands Toyota, Mitsubishi and Nissan. The rest as they say is history and now every make and model we see today on our roads is equipped with a system that has seen the numbers of car thefts decrease significantly.
