The method of operation is quite simple. When you insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the on position the antenna ring will send out a blast of energy through radio frequency.

The immobilizer can then allow the engine to start only when the correct key is used.
Apart from a few car models, most modern cars use these keys. They are more secure than the traditional keys made of metal because they thwart the determined and skilled car thief from using a hotwire or any other method to start the vehicle.

Most of the time, you can order an aftermarket fob from dealers and it’s generally cheaper to get it through the parts department rather than the service department. However every dealer we surveyed said they would not program an aftermarket fob to work with your vehicle without evidence of ownership and registration. You could get a second working fob programmed at the locksmith. However, online sites which advertise the service demand that you have a key code engraved on a metal plate that is attached to the fob, and then stored in a secure location (like your glovebox). Get the key code from your owner’s guide or dealer and use a small screwdriver to break open the fob’s case.
Keyless Entry Keys

It could also include other security features like a security lock to stop the car from being started without the owner present.

While keyless entry is a useful feature, there are some things that can go wrong in it just like other car accessory or piece of machinery.
