System description of the  Opel Immobilizer 2nd Generation 
Redesign 
The immobilizer 2nd generation prevents drive away car theft powered by its 
own engine without having a valid key. It uses an inductive data transmission 
between transponder (mounted inside the key) and the control unit. This data 
link is working with a carrier frequency of 125 kHz and uses amplitude 
modulation for transmitting data to the transponder. For the direction from the 
transponder to the control unit damping modulation with pulse duration coding 
is used. 
Functional description 
After switching on the ignition the immobilizer transmits a random number to 
the transponder. It calculates a result and transmits it back to the immobilizer. 
The result is checked and if it is correct, the engine will be released. After that, 
the immobilizer is switched off until another start is attempted. The longest 
period for transmitting 125 kHz is 3 seconds. 
Typical usage pattern (for Europe only) 
15 operations in 24 hours with a transmission duration of  2 seconds. 
→ total transmission duration of 1.25 seconds within 1 hour 
Transmitter ON  1.25    seconds / hour 
Transmitter OFF 3598.75 seconds / hour 
Duty Cycle: TON / T (ON+OFF)  x 100% = 1.25 / 3,600 x 100 % = 0.03 %
