This causes the engine to begin, when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to prevent car theft and that is why the majority of modern vehicles have them. In World War II, coded messages were broadcast over radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was friendly or hostile.

Keyless Entry Systems The days of storing keys that are not in the home are over and landlords can now offer tenants better security by installing keys-free entry systems. These systems are linked to back-end programs and allow landlords to keep track of entry and exit. Furthermore, these systems make it easier for tenants to access the property in case there is a need to enter the property in case of emergency. Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver then detects the signal and then unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of a driver and adjust the settings of the vehicle according to their preferences. It will shut the door if, for example the driver is carrying bags in his hands. While the majority of keyless entry systems are safe, some are vulnerable to attack.
