This electronic element came out 30 years ago and aims to prevent the theft of your Audi Q7. Actually, thanks to a transponder and an antenna (coil) included in the key, and, a immobilisation control box included in the ECU and a reception antenna on the neiman, your Audi Q7 will go each time you insert the key in the ignition, it checks that the code emitted by your key is actually the one asked by your immobilization box.
