Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are mini-circuits inside your key that communicate with the car's immobilizer. When you turn the key on the chip sends an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If that ID code matches the one stored in the BCM's memory the immobilizer is deactivated and the engine starts. If the ID code isn't compatible the security light will come on and the car won't start.

Transponders are not invincible. Car thieves have come up with ways to get around security systems to steal over time. A spare key with an active transponder can keep this from happening.

Smart Keys Keys

Smart keys aren't just a convenient feature. They also make it more difficult for car thieves get into your car. Smart keys don't broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they transmit different encrypted messages each time they open the door or remotely unlock the trunk. The car's computer recognizes the changes in frequency and will only allow the car to start only when the correct key matches.

BMW smart keys, for example, have a small LCD touchscreen that performs the same functions as a standard key fob, including locking and unlocking, as well as keyless entry. However, they also allow you to save your personal driver settings, stop windows or sunroofs as well as tell your car to park itself. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.

Smart keys aren't 100% secure. If someone near you can detect low-frequency transmissions between your smart key and your car while you are away, like at a restaurant or gas station, they can gain access to your car (or at least attempt to).

The good news is that the majority of smart keys come with battery backups that be activated when the main battery is dead. Many smart key batteries are easily replaced and do not require special tools.
