How does the push button start (keyless start) feature work in cars (read more)?

More specifically what stops crooks from breaking in and driving off with your car?

Answer #1

Most vehicles with this feature work by having a special “barcode” or magnetic piece in the key fob that distinguishes said vehicle from others.

A safety feature is that when the vehicle is being attempted to start without recognizing the key fob, it will immobilize the engine and give an alarm.

You can find out more information using Google or searching for a specific vehicle.
