If the transmission matches the ID on the PASE module (Passive Access & Security Electronics), the system authorizes that the key to act as a passkey that allows you to operate the vehicle.

This means that if a burglar records one of these transmissions, and then attempts to reuse it the car's PASE module will detect the attempt and deny access.
