Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are mini-circuits inside your key that communicate with the car's immobilizer. When you turn the key in the ignition the chip sends an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If the ID code matches the one in the BCM's memory, the immobilizer is deactivated and your engine starts. If the ID code does not match, the security lamp will turn on and your car won't be allowed to start.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't only a convenient feature. They also make it more difficult for 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 the 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 correct key is in line with the new signal.

A BMW smart key, for instance, has a small LCD touchscreen that can perform the basic functions of a normal key fob (locking, unlocking and keyless start) however, it also gives you the ability to store individual driver settings, shut off windows or sunroofs, and also command your car to auto park from within the key. These kinds of features are what help to set smart keys apart from traditional keys.

Smart keys are not completely secure. If someone in your vicinity receives the low frequency transmissions sent between your smart device and your car or vehicle, they could gain access to your vehicle (or at the very least, attempt to) by picking up on these signals even when you're away from your vehicle like at a gas station or restaurant.

The good news is that the majority of smart keys have a battery backup that kicks in if your primary battery fails. Many smart key batteries can be easily replaced and do not require special tools.
