After the chip is verified the Cars Immobiliser system allows the car to start.

A: Car Proximity/Smart Keys are advanced electronic keys that allow for keyless entry and ignition. These keys use a combination of RFID and/or Bluetooth technology to communicate with the car’s onboard computer system. When the key fob is within a certain range of the vehicle, it sends a signal to the car, which then unlocks the doors and allows the engine to start without physically inserting the key into the ignition. This system enhances convenience and security, as it reduces the likelihood of lockouts and unauthorized access. For proper functionality, these keys typically need to be programmed specifically for each vehicle, which can be done by an auto locksmith or at a dealership.
