The immobilizer is the antitheft security system for the ignition system. There is the chip built into the key that sends an ID to the immobilizer ECUs/ID code box.

It then takes that information and sends it to the engine control computer to authorize the vehicle to start

I intend duplicating my keys, what do i look out for while doing this? Must i take my car with me for cutting an extra key? I fear car security may be compromised.
