It's referred to as a "Vehicle Anti-Theft System" or VATS. The chip that is in your ignition key is a resistor of one of 18 different values. Without sensing this resistance, your car won't start.
No remotes, no sirens.
It is, however, an anti-theft device, and as such qualifies you for a discount from some insurance companies.
Your radio, once it is without power, needs to have a code entered into it in order for it to work.
Good Luck!
