Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are tiny circuits that are integrated into your key to communicate with the 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 is identical to that stored in the BCM memory the immobilizer will be turned off and the engine will start. If the ID code does not match, the security light will light up and your car won't be allowed to start.

Transponders aren't invincible. Car thieves have found ways to get around security systems to steal over time. A spare key that has an active transponder will aid in preventing this.

Smart Keys Keys

Smart keys aren't just an awesome convenience but they also make it difficult for thieves to steal your car. Instead of transmitting the same frequency signal like traditional keys, smart keys send out different encrypted signals every when they unlock doors or remotely open the trunk. A computer inside your car then recognizes these different frequencies and allows it to begin if the correct key matches the latest signal.

A BMW smart key, for example features a small LCD color touchscreen on it that performs the standard functions of a regular key fob (locking or unlocking and keyless start), but also gives you the ability to save individual driver settings, switch off windows or sunroofs as well as command your car to auto park by using the key. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.

Smart keys aren't 100% secure. If someone close to you is able to hear the low frequency transmissions that are sent between your smart key and your vehicle or vehicle, they could gain access to your vehicle (or at the very least, attempt to) by spotting these signals when you're away from your car for example, at restaurants or at a gas station.

The positive side is that many smart keys have batteries that can kick in when the main battery is dead. Furthermore, a lot of smart key batteries are easy to replace and don't require any specialized tools.
