The Immobilizer System

They can test the performance of the system by logging into the CAN bus and then reading messages that the components of the immobilizer exchange.

But even the best systems can be hacked if they are targeted properly. In one study, Jan Bokslag used weaknesses in the Hitag2 protocol to stealthily break into three vehicles including all models from the past. In ten seconds, the security code for the vehicle was extracted from one of them. This data is then used to generate a working key, which disables the immobilizer. The other two were harder to break, but they did eventually break.

The Immobilizer Chip

A key with a chip (often called a Smart Key) has an RFID microchip in it which transmits a code to the car's immobilizer system. If the code on a chip is identical to the code in the car's immobilizer, the car will begin.

This is an important anti-theft measure that prevents car thieves from hotwiring the immobilizer, or bypassing it in any other way. If the immobilizer isn't able to recognize the key, it will not allow the engine to start, even if someone tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit.

Most modern cars come with electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that utilize rolling or changing security codes. This means that each time a key is used, the intelligent system changes the second code, and then pushes it into the chip inside the key. The first code is always in place and the immobilizer scans the codes each time the ignition key is turned.

This is a highly sophisticated technology that is hard to hack. It's why most stolen cars cannot be started.
