Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are tiny circuits within your key that communicate with the car's immobilizer. When the key is turned on, the chip transmits an identification code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If the ID code matches with that stored in the BCM memory, the immobilizer will be turned off and the engine will start. If the ID code isn't compatible, the security light will be on and the vehicle won't start.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't just an awesome convenience they also make it difficult for car thieves to steal your vehicle. Smart keys don't broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they send different encrypted messages every time they open doors or remotely unlock the trunk. A computer in your vehicle is able to recognize these different frequencies and allows it to begin if the correct key matches the new signal.

A BMW smart key, for instance features a small LCD touchscreen which performs the typical functions of a typical key fob (locking or unlocking and keyless start), but also gives you the ability to save individual driver settings, turn off windows or sunroofs as well as command your car to automatically park inside the key. These kinds of features are what makes smart keys stand apart from their traditional counterparts.

Despite this additional layer of security, there are still ways that smart keys could be hacked. If someone near you picks up the low-frequency transmissions between your smart key and your car, while you are away, for instance in a restaurant or a gas station, they could gain access to your car (or at least attempt to).

The good news is most smart keys have a battery backup that kicks in if your primary battery fails. Many smart keys' batteries can be easily replaced and don't usually require special tools.
