Component Location: Transponder
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Hyundai Kona. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
A transponder built in the Smart Key knob receives data regarding ignition when the ignition switch is ON and transmits its calculations of encryption wearilessly.
NOTE:
- A transponder does not require a separate battery. It functions using power generated inside the vehicle.
- A transponder is a built-in component inside the Smart Key, which makes it repeatable and irremovable.
The component can be semi-permanently if no shock or damage is done.
