The locksmith will then be able to attempt to start the car using the key that has been dismantled. If it doesn't work the chip can be repositioned before trying again.
Immobilisers
Immobilisers have become standard in almost all modern cars. They prevent the car from being started when it's not powered by a key or key fob that's been authorized. These work by sending an unique code to the car's ECU when they are activated. If the code does not match that in the vehicle's ECU it will mean that the ECU won't allow the engine to start. It also disables the starter motor as well as the fuel pump.

Researchers have said that they could hack into the security systems of certain companies and start an automobile in less than 30 minutes.
