Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are mini-circuits inside your key that communicate with your car's immobilizer. When the key is turned in the ignition the chip transmits an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If the ID code is identical to that stored in the BCM memory, the immobilizer will be turned off and the engine will be able to start. If the ID code does not match, the security lamp will light up and your car will not be able to start.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't just a cool convenience but they also make it hard for car thieves to steal your car. Instead of broadcasting the same frequency signal as traditional key fobs, smart keys send out various encrypted signals each when they unlock doors remotely or open the trunk. The car's computer detects the fluctuating frequencies, and will only allow it to begin when the key that you want to use matches.

A BMW smart key, for example, has a small LCD touchscreen which performs the typical functions of a standard key fob (locking or unlocking and keyless start) however, it also gives the option to store individual driver settings, shut off sunroofs and windows, and even command your car to auto park inside the key. These kinds of features are what help to set smart keys apart from traditional keys.

Smart keys aren't entirely secure. If someone close to you receives the low-frequency transmissions sent between your smart key and your car and they gain access to your car (or at the very least attempt to) by spotting these signals while you're away from your vehicle for example, at an eatery or gas station.

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