Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are tiny circuits within 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 that ID code matches that stored in the BCM's memory then the immobilizer will be disabled and the engine starts. If the ID code doesn't match the security light will be on and the vehicle will not start.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't only a convenient convenience. They also make it harder for thieves to get into your car. Smart keys do not transmit the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they transmit different encrypted messages every when they open doors or remotely unlock the trunk. The computer in your car recognizes the changing frequencies, and will only allow the car to start only when the correct key matches.

BMW smart keys, for example are equipped with a tiny LCD touchscreen that can perform the same functions as a traditional key fob. This includes locking or unlocking and keyless entry. However, they also allow users to save their own driver settings, shut down windows or sunroofs as well as tell your car to park itself. These kinds of features are what makes smart keys stand apart from traditional keys.

Smart keys are not completely secure. If someone close to you picks up the low-frequency transmissions between your smart key and your vehicle, even when you are away, for instance at a gas or restaurant station, they could gain access to your car (or at the very least, attempt to).

The good news is that the majority of smart keys have a backup battery that is activated if the primary battery fails. Many smart keys' batteries can be easily replaced and do not require special tools.
