A transponder is an electronic chip with Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) which contains a set of windings (very fine wire wrapped around the tube) which look similar to ones found in an electric motor. These windings produce a coded message that the car read. If the code is correct it will allow the car to start.

There are two kinds of transponder chips. The one is known as the 80-bit and the other is called the circle + (General Motors).
