A transponder in an ignition system is a small electronic device embedded in a key or key fob that communicates with the vehicle's ignition system. When the key is inserted into the ignition or brought near the ignition switch, the transponder emits a unique code to the vehicle's onboard computer. If the code matches the one stored in the system, it allows the engine to start; otherwise, it prevents the vehicle from being started, enhancing security against unauthorized access. This technology helps deter car theft by ensuring that only keys with the correct transponder can start the engine.
It is part of the factory system and there is no easy way to bypass the system, installing a remote start sometimes will disable it. Remember the immobilizer is there to prevent theft.
The sensor in ignition keys, often referred to as a transponder, is a small electronic chip embedded within the key. This chip communicates with the vehicle's ignition system by sending a unique code when the key is inserted into the ignition. If the code matches the vehicle’s stored code, the ignition system allows the engine to start. This technology enhances vehicle security by preventing unauthorized access and theft.
Electronic ignition was starting to be used on enduro bikes by early 1980's.

Overall, the ignition key is essential for vehicle operation and security.
