Vintage GM car keys- V.A.T.S.

Up until 1986, the GM industry was using one sided cut keys, similar to a regular house key, but with a different keyway for their vehicles: one key for the door and another for the ignition, and they didn't have a transponder chip in them but rather a simple metal key with no plastic covering.


Eventually, VATS (Vehicle Anti-theft System) keys were introduced as the first electronic keys. These keys have resisters embedded inside so that when someone inserts they key into the car's ignition, an electric current travels through the resister inside and a value is read by a computer inside of the car--if the value does't match the computer's memory, the vehicle will not start..
