Abstract

A controller drives a key interlock solenoid to lock a key so that the key cannot be pulled out of a key cylinder when a shift lever is not at a parking position or while an identification code is being sent to a transponder mounted in the key. Thus, the key cannot be pulled out of the key cylinder during the writing of the identification code in the transponder.
