How your immobiliser system works on Ford F 350 

Before describing the different choices available to you, here is a short intro to demonstrate the intent and functions of the immobilizer in your Ford F 350 . This electronic component came out 30 years ago and aspires to prevent the theft of your Ford F 350 . In fact, 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 Ford F 350  will go each time you put the key in the ignition, it controls that the code emitted by your key is indeed the one expected by your immobilization box. It is only at this moment, that it will enable you to turn on your car. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this system will work.
