The chip responds by sending a unique frequency that only your key can send. This is how your car can tell that it's genuine.

These devices are convenient, especially for people who live in urban areas where public transportation is limited and parking garages can be overcrowded. These devices are also an option for people who have difficulty turning a conventional key.
Fobs are also more secure than keys. The signals they transmit contain rolling code encryption that prevents thieves from intercepting and replicating the unlock sequence. The transmitters in each key fob employ a pseudo-random sequence generator to transmit a different code each time. If the burglar replays the previous code, the car will not respond, and the thief will not be capable of opening the door.
