Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are tiny circuits embedded in your key and communicate with the immobilizer. When the key is switched on, the chip transmits a code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If the ID code is identical to that stored in the BCM memory, the immobilizer will be turned off and the engine will be able to start. If the ID code does not match, the security light will be lit and the car won't start.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't just an awesome convenience they also make it hard for thieves to steal your vehicle. Instead of broadcasting the same frequency like traditional key fobs, smart keys transmit various encrypted signals each when they unlock doors or remotely open the trunk. A computer in your vehicle is able to recognize the changing frequencies and only allows it to start if the correct key is in line with the new signal.

BMW smart keys, for instance include a small LCD touchscreen that performs the same functions as a standard key fob. This includes locking or unlocking and keyless entry. They also allow users to save their own driver settings, close windows or sunroofs, as well as tell your car to park itself. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.

Despite this additional layer of security, there are still ways for smart keys to be hacked. If someone who is close to you receives the low frequency transmissions transmitted between your smart keys and your vehicle or vehicle, they could gain access to your car (or at least try to) by picking up on these signals while you're away from your vehicle in restaurants or at a gas station.

The good thing is that many smart keys have a backup battery that is activated if the main battery dies. In addition, many smart key batteries are easy to replace and don't require any specialized tools.
