TWICE, Immobilization

Fig 1: Identifying Immobilization Procedure (TWICE)

As standard, the car is fitted with a system which prevents the car from being started without the correct key. There is a transponder in the key with an identification code that is unique for just that transponder. A receiver fitted round the ignition switch receives the transponder's identification code and sends it on to TWICE, which recognizes the car's transponders. In the event of an incorrect transponder being used, TWICE outputs an error message on the bus.
