 What
is Transponder Technology?
Introduction of a Transponder Immobilization system,
which is built in to all cars made in Europe, USA and
Asia as anti-theft security system was a major breakthrough.
Cars on Indian roads are yet to find them with the exception
of few luxury class vehicles. The system involves a
microchip, which is a miniature transmitter and receiver.
There is an engine management system inside the dashboard
that can recognize the signals transmitted from the
microchip. If the correct signals are not detected,
the engine will not start.

a
new age anti-theft mechanism - for smart men who dont
take chances...
It
is the most dependable anti-theft system, designed to
connect with engine control system and with the ignition,
starter and fuel pump, which allows engine start if the
electronic code on the transponder has been successfully
recognized. The system works by inductive coupling with
an antenna situated on the ignition switch. On ignition,
the centralized Control system of the immobilizer reads
the encrypted code from the transponder and if it is recognized
as the valid code, the system sends permission to the
engine control to start The engine. Each transponder is
usually programmed with a 32-digit code with a zero chance
of repeating. Each programmed transponder comes with a
master and slave (copy). Copies can be made only from
the master transponder. An override is possible while
the car is being fixed for repairs in a garage.
