Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are miniature circuits inside your key that communicate with your car's immobilizer. When the key is turned on, the chip transmits an ID 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 turn off and the engine will start. If the ID code does not match, the security lamp will turn on and your car will not be able to start.

Smart Keys Keys

Smart keys aren't just cool convenience they also make it more difficult for car thieves to steal your vehicle. Smart keys do not transmit the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they transmit different encrypted messages every time they open doors or remotely unlock the trunk. A computer inside your car is able to detect the frequency shifts and only allows it to start if the appropriate key is compatible with the new signal.

BMW smart keys, for instance include a small LCD touchscreen that can perform the same functions as a traditional key fob. This includes locking or unlocking and keyless entry. However, they also allow you to store your own driver settings, close windows or sunroofs as well and tell your car how to park itself. These kinds of features are what makes smart keys stand apart from traditional keys.

Despite this additional layer of security, there are still ways that smart keys can be hacked. If someone close to you receives the low-frequency transmissions sent between your smart key and your car and they gain access to your vehicle (or at the very least attempt to) by spotting these signals even when you're away from your vehicle like at restaurants or at a gas station.

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