These windings look like the ones found in an electric motor.

The locksmith can then try to start the car using the keys dismantled. If the chip doesn't work it can be moved.

Immobilisers

Nearly all modern cars have immobilisers built-in to them, these prevent the car from starting unless it is powered by a authorised key or key fob.
