Why does Bentley use transponder keys?

Transponder key provide vehicles with a higher security level against theft. Transponder deter and prevent theft by eliminating the option of ‘hot wiring’ the car using a discrete code. This makes breaking the door and ignition lock ineffective! If the car computer doesn’t recognize the key microchip code, it won’t start.

How does Bentley transponder and immobilizer work?

An immobilized Bentley consist of immobilizer, RFID transponder key and an antena around the ignition switch. When the key turned in the ignition, the antenna induces a voltage in the transponder chip. The chip send a unique encrypted code signal to the immobilizer. If the immobiliser recognize the code, it sends back a random number to the key. The key and immobiliser both calculate the codes. If the codes match on both sides, normal engine starting is allowed.
