There are also windings which are very delicate wires that are woven around tubes. They look similar to those used in an electric motor.

After this is removed, the locksmith will be able to take the transponder chip and place it on a piece tape before affixing it to the ignition lock. The locksmith can then try to start the car with the keys that are disassembled. If the chip does not work, it can be repositioned.
Immobilisers
Immobilisers are a standard feature in almost all modern cars. They stop the car from being started unless it's powered by the key fob or key that's authorised. These work by sending an unique code to the car's ECU when they are activated. If the code does not match that of the vehicle's ECU the ECU will not allow the engine start. It will also shut down the starter motor or fuel pump.
These systems are effective in preventing theft of cars, but they need to be updated periodically so that thieves do not overcome them. For example researchers have claimed to be able to hack into some security systems and have the car running in less than 30 minutes.
