Transponder keys, or chip keys, are car keys that are equipped with RFID (radio frequency identification) chips. These chips are placed inside car keys' plastic heads and render hot-wiring ineffective.
In 1985, General Motors introduced the first chip keys in order to combat car theft. Today, almost every new car is sold with transponder keys.
