The head of a key which is equipped with a transponder chip may be removed to reveal a metallic L-shaped key. Making a replacement key, or fob with transponder chips is a multi-stage procedure that includes accurate cutting of the key replacements and programming the transponder chip in order to synch up with the vehicle's immobiliser.

Transponders are electronic chip with Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) that houses a set of windings (very fine wire twisted around a tube) that look like the ones in an electric motor. These windings produce a coded message that the car can read. If the code is correct it will allow the car to start.

There are two types of transponder chips. One known as the 80 bit, and the other referred to as a circle + (General Motors). The first is reusable, but it must be unlocked using a special machine in order to work on a vehicle that is compatible with the.
