What Does the Term “Transponder Key” Mean?

A definite sign that there is a transponder chip in your key is if it has a hard plastic fob. Transponder is a term that comes from the combination of two words, “transponder” and “receiver.” A transponder chip is capable of transmitting and receiving a signal using radio frequency with your ignition system. Every transponder chip has a unique code programmed to match the one your ignition system is looking for.
