There are two kinds of transponder keys: rolling code and crypto. Transponders with rolling code send data in both directions between the key and the car's computer. The car's computer checks the data sent by the key and then alters the chip's coding. This process is done in a secure way, so that no one could steal the data.

You will need to remove the key fob cover using an screwdriver. Then, remove the transponder chip from the key fob and place it on a piece of tape. Then, you have to put the tape in the vicinity of the ignition lock. Once you have done this, start the car using the new key. If that doesn't work, try repositioning the tape.
