Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are miniature circuits inside your key that communicate with your car's immobilizer. When you turn the key on the chip transmits an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If the ID code matches that stored in the BCM memory the immobilizer will be disabled and the engine will be able to start. If the ID code doesn't match, the security light will appear and the car will not start.

Transponders don't guarantee absolute security however, because car thieves have evolved over time to find ways to evade security systems to prevent theft. A spare key with a functioning transponder could help to stop this from happening.

Smart Keys Keys

Smart keys aren't just a cool convenience they also make it hard for thieves to steal your vehicle. Smart keys do not transmit the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they send out various encrypted messages each time they open doors or remotely unlock the trunk. A computer inside your vehicle then detects the frequency shifts and only allows it to start if the appropriate key is in line with the new signal.

A BMW smart key, for instance it has a tiny LCD touchscreen in color that can perform the basic functions of a normal key fob (locking, unlocking and keyless start) It also gives the option to store personal driver settings, turn off windows or sunroofs and even command your car to auto park by using the key. These kinds of features are what make smart keys stand apart from their conventional counterparts.

Despite this added layer of security, there are still ways that smart keys could be compromised. If someone near you is able to hear the low frequency transmissions transmitted between your smart keys and your car it could allow access to your car (or at the very least attempt to) by picking up on these signals even when you're away from your vehicle, such as at a gas station or restaurant.

The good news is that the majority of smart keys have backup batteries that be activated if the main battery dies. Furthermore, a lot of smart key batteries are simple to replace and generally don't require any special tools.
