Transponder keys (a portmanteau for responder and transmitter) have an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When inserted into a car that has transponder technology, the chip sends an low-level signal to the receiver located near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start, when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to stop theft of cars which is why a majority of modern cars have them.
