Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are tiny circuits within your key that communicate with your car's immobilizer. When the key is turned 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 memory the immobilizer is disabled and the engine will be able to start. If the ID code does not match the security light won't be lit and the car won't start.

Smart Keys Keys

Smart keys aren't just a cool convenience, they also make it hard for thieves to steal your car. Instead of sending out the same frequency signal like traditional key fobs, smart keys broadcast different encrypted signals every when they unlock a door or remotely open the trunk. A computer inside your car then recognizes the frequency shifts and only allows it to start if the right key matches the new signal.

A BMW smart key, for example is equipped with a tiny LCD touchscreen that performs the usual functions of a normal key fob (locking, unlocking and keyless start) However, it also offers you the ability to save individual driver settings, switch off sunroofs and windows, and even instruct your car to self-park from within the key. These types of features can set smart keys apart from their traditional counterparts.

Smart keys aren't 100% secure. If someone close to you receives the low-frequency transmissions transmitted between your smart keys and your car it could allow access to your vehicle (or at least try to) by spotting the signals even if you're not from your car like at restaurants or at a gas station.

The good news is most smart keys have a battery backup that is activated if the main battery dies. Many smart key batteries can be easily replaced and don't require special tools.
