You're confusing a remote key fob with a key that has a transponder. I'm talking about the chip within the key body that the car recognizes is an allowed key. If not, it will usually cut power to the starter or fuel pump to prevent the car from starting. They will usually look exactly like regular keys because the transponder chip is the size of a small pellet.
According to
THIS SITE, transponder keys were added in years 2009-2010. But I've also found another site that stated 2009 didn't have transponder keys. My normal go-to site (the12volt.com) seems to be down or I would check there.
