2. No ignition
Immobilisers are used in modern cars to stop the vehicle from starting if the key does not match the one programmed within. This is accomplished by transmitting a transponder code from the key to the immobiliser, which then compares it with the ones stored inside it. If the codes are the same, the engine will start. This system could fail for a variety of reasons, such as a stolen or missing key, a damaged transponder or one that isn't coded, or electrical problems, such as a broken immobiliser antenna wire that is located around the ignition cylinder. Multiple keys may also confuse the codes, for example, a spare or a vehicle with two transponders on one key.
When the immobiliser does not function properly, it could be impossible to start your vehicle. This creates the impression that the system is inoperable and they are able to steal with the joy and excitement of the owner.
