Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are tiny circuits that are embedded in your keys and communicate with the immobilizer. When the key is switched on, the chip transmits an ID code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If that ID code matches that in the BCM's memory, then the immobilizer is turned off and your engine starts. If the ID code doesn't match, the security lamp will be lit and your car won't be allowed to start.

Transponders aren't completely invincible however, since car thieves have developed over time to discover ways to get around anti-theft systems. A spare key with functioning transponders can help keep this from happening.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't just an excellent convenience. They also make it harder for thieves to take your car. Smart keys don't transmit the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they transmit different encrypted messages each time they open a door or remotely unlock the trunk. A computer in your vehicle is able to recognize these changing frequencies and only allows it to start if the right key is compatible with the new signal.

BMW smart keys, for example, have a small LCD touchscreen that performs the same functions as a standard key fob, such as locking and unlocking, as well as keyless entry. They also allow you to store your own driver settings, stop windows or sunroofs as well and tell your car how to park itself. These types of features makes smart keys stand apart from their conventional counterparts.

Despite this added layer of security, there are still ways that smart keys could be hacked. If someone near you can detect low-frequency transmissions between your smart key, and your car when you are away, for instance in a restaurant or a gas station, they can gain access to your car (or at the very least, attempt to).

The good thing is that many smart keys come with a backup battery which kicks in when your main battery fails. Many smart keys' batteries can be easily replaced and don't require specialized tools.
