This stops thieves from stealing your car, even if they have the keys or fob.

2. No ignition
Immobilisers are utilized in modern cars to prevent the vehicle from starting if your key is not compatible with the one that is programmed in. The immobiliser examines the transponder codes in the immobiliser against the codes sent from the key. If the codes are the same the engine will begin. However, a number of factors could cause this system fail, including a lost or stolen key or a damaged or uncoded transponder, as well as electrical issues such as broken immobiliser antenna wiring, which typically surrounds the ignition cylinder. It is also possible that the codes are confused by multiple keys, for example, having a spare key or the car has two transponders on the same key.
If the immobiliser doesn't function properly, it could be impossible to start your vehicle. This creates the impression that the system is faulty and they may steal the vehicle with the joy and excitement of the owner. This makes it an important investment for anyone who owns a car, especially those with prestige vehicles that can be difficult to sell after being stolen or damaged.
