Good question Jon. I just assume that the hideous key is Ford......you might have a point!

Well, I do tire of the dagger like key poking a hole in my trouser pocket........................
It's irritating..............when most keys now fold in on themselves.
Don't get me wrong, I don't desire keyless, any more than I desire an electronic handbrake, or stop/start, which are all pointless complexity.............
But I'd like a smaller key.......

Google it Ray. The coil around the steering lock barrel induces a current in the chip and asks the chip to identify itself. The chip provides a code which disarms the immobiliser.
The immobiliser remains off until the key is removed and after about twenty seconds it re-arms.
Fancier chips also receive a new code each time they are used but I don't think this happens with the Ford system.
Thanks Dave, the wonders of modern electronics
