Transponder Keys
Transponder keys are basically a microchip embedded in them that transmits a unique digital code to the vehicle. This code is matched to an identifier in the car's computer. If the code does not match, the vehicle will not start. This technology has helped to reduce the number of car thefts.

This technology was developed to stop the theft of cars. Prior to this, thieves could connect two wires on the ignition switch of the car to turn it on. The transponder technology prevents this from happening since the vehicle will not start in the event that the correct code isn't sent to the immobilizer system.
The chip can be used to open doors and trunks without pressing the button. These "smart" Audi fobs have proximity sensors that are activated when the owner is within only a few feet from the vehicle. The sensor will transmit a signal to the vehicle to allow trunks and doors to open and unlock.
One disadvantage of the transponder system is that it is difficult to identify issues. If the ignition key does not turn on most likely caused by a damaged battery. You can replace the battery using an easy DIY kit, but the majority of people prefer having an expert do it for them. This way, they can guarantee the task is done correctly and quickly.
