Transponder chips are concealed in the car keys of the majority of Peugeots produced since 1995. It's a miniature electronic chip with non-volatile memories, a type of memory which does not require constant energy to store. Windings are also available, which are extremely delicate wires that are woven around tubes. They resemble the ones found in an electric motor.

Immobilisers

Immobilisers are now a standard feature on almost all modern cars. They prevent the car from starting unless it's powered by the key fob or key that's been authorized. When they are activated the immobilisers transmit an individual code to the car's ECU. If the code does not match that of the vehicle's ECU the ECU won't allow the engine to start. It will also shut down the starter motor or fuel pump.

These systems are effective in preventing car theft, but they need to be maintained on a regular basis to ensure that thieves are unable to find a way around them. For instance researchers have claimed to hack into security systems and had the car running in less than 30 minutes.
