Keys

Volkswagen car keys, or fobs, contain an encoded transponder which sends an alert to the vehicle containing an unique code that is stored in the ignition.

Transponders

Transponders are an integral part of modern automobile keys and protect against theft of cars since they make it impossible to wire your vehicle hot. They are equipped with a microchip which looks like glass tic-tac. When you insert the key in your ignition, it transmits an identification code to a reader coil that is located in your vehicle's receiver unit. If the code matches that of the original key, your vehicle will begin.

These chips emit distinct signals in a specific frequency range, meaning they're not easy to duplicate. They are also utilized in satellite communications to transmit data to other devices that are on the spacecraft. They are utilized by air traffic control in order to communicate between planes and to provide information about the location and altitude of aircrafts.
