Ford has went to "chipping" their keys? I know GM dabbled with it in the late 90's early and had some issues. We had to clean the contacts on the key with a pencil eraser. The chips were nothing more than resistors the computer read. If it didn't read the correct resistance programmed for that car it wouldn't work.

In Canada the CMVSS requires all cars 2007 model year or newer to have some form of immobilizer... many automakers went with some variant of a RFID device. This is a non contact system so there won't be issues with dirty electrical contacts. It's like those keyfobs or ID cards to get into a commercial building / multi dwelling unit or those contactless smartcards to log on to your computer.

I know what you're talking about. It's called Passive Keyless Entry. It uses a small rfid or similar device to activate a lock etc without physical contact. Pretty cool stuff. You can buy kits to add that to your home or car.
