When the key is put into an automobile that uses transponder tech, the chip sends out a low-level message to a receiver located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this it will trigger the engine to switch on. Transponder chips are designed to stop theft of cars, which is why most modern cars use them.

Transponder technology was first introduced in World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, they've become used on the majority of new cars, and can also be retrofitted to older models.

Furthermore, these systems make it simpler for tenants to access the property in case there is a need to enter the property in case of emergency.

It can also detect the presence of a driver and adjust the car's settings according to their preferences. It will automatically close the door in the event that, for instance the driver is carrying an item in his bag.

While most keyless entry systems are secure, some of them are vulnerable to attack. A replay attack, for example, is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and sent again at a later date.
