captpackrat 11/05/19 11:49:02 AM #2:	My car has a key with two metal contacts, and sandwiched between them is a resistor. When you insert the key the computer reads the resistance and if it matches the expected value it allows the engine to start. Using a key with the wrong resistor or no resistor causes the computer to lock out the fuel injectors for five minutes. --- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, Minutus carborata descendum pantorum. <cite>captpackrat posted [p:929702066] in How do you...

aDirtyShisno 11/07/19 2:04:25 PM #22:	I get the feeling that most of the people voting plain metal key with no electronics are simply unaware that their key is encoded with an electronic signature that is read by the car to verify that the correct key was inserted.

I get the feeling that most of the people voting plain metal key with no electronics are simply unaware that their key is encoded with an electronic signature that is read by the car to verify that the correct key was inserted. Its kinda like a credit card magnetic strip, and unless your car is like 40 years old youve probably got one of those. You can tell really easily if your key doesnt really look like a house key and just is mostly straight and smooth with barely any notches at all. My car is 16 years old now and its a regular key. Heh. I have a fob for unlocking the doors but it isnt an RF system or anything. If it looks like any of these keys then its definitely not regular, at least not in the sense that its with no electronics. These kinds of keys are not particularly unique and have an electronic signature in addition to any nicks in them to make it far less likely that you can accidentally, or intentionally, start up someone elses car with your key. The protection in the fob for unlocking the doors isnt necessarily as secure but the combination of physical shape and digital signature at least make it very very unlikely that you can start up a second car with the same key. https://i.imgur.com/FpfeiEb.jpg The Mercedes branded key in the pic is what I had in a Ford rental one time, it was interesting. --- ...Dude, you're a ****ing douche.
