Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are mini-circuits inside your key that communicate with your car's immobilizer. When you turn the key on the chip sends an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If the ID code matches the one stored in the BCM's memory then the immobilizer is disabled and the engine is started. If the ID code does not match, the security light will come on and your car won't be able to start.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't just an excellent convenience. They also make it more difficult for car thieves get into your car. Smart keys do not broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they transmit different encrypted messages every time they open a door or remotely unlock the trunk. The computer in your car recognizes the changing frequencies, and will only let it start only when the correct key matches.

A BMW smart key, for instance features a small LCD touchscreen in color that can perform the basic functions of a standard key fob (locking in, unlocking and keyless start), but also gives you the ability to save individual driver settings, shut off sunroofs or windows, and also command your car to automatically park from the key. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.

Smart keys aren't completely secure. If someone who is close to you receives the low frequency transmissions sent between your smart device and your vehicle, they could gain access to your vehicle (or at least try to) by picking up on these signals even when you're away from your vehicle, such as at the gas station or in a restaurant.

The good news is that the majority of smart keys come with a backup battery that is activated if the main battery goes out. Many smart key batteries can be quickly replaced and don't typically require specialized tools.
