Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are tiny circuits within your key that communicate with the car's immobilizer. When you turn the key into the ignition the chip transmits an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If the ID code matches that stored in the BCM's memory then the immobilizer will be disabled and the engine starts. If the ID code does not match the security light won't appear and the car will not start.

Transponders aren't invincible. Car thieves have developed methods to evade anti-theft systems throughout the years. A spare key that has a functioning transponder could help keep this from happening.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't just a great convenience, they also make it difficult for thieves to steal your car. Smart keys don't broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they send different encrypted messages every time they open the door or remotely unlock the trunk. A computer in your vehicle then detects the frequency shifts and only allows it to start if the correct key matches the latest signal.

BMW smart keys, for example are equipped with a tiny LCD touchscreen that performs the same functions as a standard key fob, like locking and unlocking as well as keyless entry. But they also allow you to save your personal driver settings, turn off windows or sunroofs as and tell your car how to park itself. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.

Despite this additional layer of security, there are still ways that smart keys could be hacked. If someone in your vicinity detects the low-frequency transmissions between your smart keys and your car, while you are away, like at a restaurant or a petrol station, they can gain access to your car (or at the very least, attempt to).

The good news is that a majority of smart keys have backup batteries that be activated when the main battery is dead. Many smart key batteries can be easily replaced and do not require special tools.
