This electronic part was invented 30 years ago and aims to prevent the theft of your Toyota C-hr. Indeed, thanks to a transponder and an antenna (coil) integrated in the key, and, a immobilisation control box integrated in the ECU and a reception antenna on the neiman, your Toyota C-hr will go each time you insert the key in the ignition, it checks that the code emitted by your key is actually the one required by your immobilization box. It is only at this moment, that it will allow you to start. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this device will work.
