Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are tiny circuits within your key that communicate with the car's immobilizer. When the key is switched on, the chip transmits a code to Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If that ID code matches the one in the BCM's memory, then the immobilizer is disabled and the engine starts. If the ID code doesn't match, the security light will be lit and your car won't be able to start.

Smart Keys Keys

Smart keys aren't just a convenient feature. They also make it more difficult for thieves to get into your car. Smart keys do not transmit the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they send different encrypted messages every when they open the door or remotely unlock the trunk. A computer inside your car then recognizes these changing frequencies and only allows it to start if the correct key matches the latest signal.

A BMW smart key, for example it has a tiny LCD touchscreen in color that can perform the basic functions of a typical key fob (locking and unlocking, as well as keyless start), but also gives you the ability to save individual driver settings, shut off sunroofs or windows, as well as command your car to self park inside the key. These kinds of features help to set smart keys apart from conventional keys.

Smart keys aren't 100% secure. If someone near you receives low-frequency signals between your smart key, and your car when you are away, for instance at a restaurant or a petrol station, they could gain access to your car (or at the very least, attempt to).

The good news is that most smart keys have a battery backup which kicks in when your main battery goes out. Many smart key batteries can be easily replaced and do not require specialized tools.
