Transponder Chips
Some modern cars and trucks require a special key with an embedded transponder chip. This is a security feature that protects your vehicle from being stolen or tampered. When you insert your key into the ignition, it sends an alert to the transponder which then generates a valid number. Your car won't start without this code. This isn't an issue with older models, but it may be a problem for modern vehicles.

The NFC chip in the key sends an encrypted request signal to the Ignition Switch when the key is within 1.5 inches of the switch. If the signal is valid it will trigger the Ignition Switch allows the engine to be started.
If the Ignition switch detects that the key used is not the correct one, it will disable the ignition coil, the fuel pump, and possibly injectors. It also disables the power steering system which makes it difficult for a potential car thief.
