Transponder Chips

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

Smart Keys Keys

Smart keys aren't only an excellent convenience. They also make it more difficult for thieves to take your car. Smart keys do not transmit the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they transmit different encrypted messages every time they open doors or remotely unlock the trunk. A computer inside your vehicle is able to recognize the frequency shifts and only allows it to start if the correct key matches the latest signal.

A BMW smart key, for instance features a small LCD touchscreen in color that can perform the basic functions of a standard key fob (locking in, unlocking and keyless start) however, it also gives you the capability to save individual driver settings, switch off sunroofs or windows, and even command your car to self park by using the key. These kinds of features are what can set smart keys apart from conventional keys.

Smart keys aren't completely secure. If someone close to you is able to hear the low frequency transmissions that are sent between your smart key and your vehicle, they could gain access to your vehicle (or at the very least attempt to) by spotting these signals even when you're away from your vehicle, such as at restaurants or at a gas station.

The good news is most smart keys have a backup battery that is activated if the main battery dies. Additionally, many smart key batteries are simple to replace and generally don't require any tools.
