Immobilizer System
When you put your key in the ignition, it transmits an ID code to a device inside the car. The computer will allow the engine to start if the ID code is similar to an earlier one stored in the car. If the ID code does not match, an immobilizer is triggered that prevents the car from getting started.
This technology is not foolproof, but it does work even if you lose your keys. It is possible to "hack" an anti-theft system using radio waves. A criminal can employ an aerial antenna to spoof the signal to tell that the car's key is in the ignition.
Experts are developing more secure methods to thwart this. Some systems include WiFi connectivity as well as undetectable installations, and pin code entry through dashboard buttons.
