Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are tiny circuits that are embedded into your key and communicate with the immobilizer. When the key is switched on, the chip transmits an ID code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If that ID code matches the one stored in the BCM's memory the immobilizer is deactivated and the engine is started. If the ID code does not match, the security lamp will turn on and your car will not be able to start.

Transponders aren't perfect however, because car thieves have developed over time to find ways of bypassing security systems to prevent theft. A spare key that has a functioning transponder could help to prevent this from happening.

Smart Keys Keys

Smart keys aren't only a convenient feature. They also make it harder for car thieves get into your car. Instead of transmitting the same frequency signal like traditional keys, smart keys emit different encrypted signals every when they unlock the door or remotely open the trunk. A computer in your vehicle is able to recognize these different frequencies and allows it to start if the right key is compatible with the new signal.

BMW smart keys, for instance include a small LCD touchscreen that performs the same functions as a traditional key fob, like locking, unlocking, and keyless entry. But they also allow users to save their own driver settings, shut down windows or sunroofs, as well and tell your car how to park itself. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.

Despite this added layer of security, there are ways that smart keys could be hacked. If someone who is close to you receives the low-frequency transmissions that are sent between your smart key and your car, they could gain access to your vehicle (or at least try to) by spotting these signals even when you're away from your car for example, at restaurants or at a gas station.

The good news is that a majority of smart keys have batteries that can begin to function should the main battery fail. Many smart key batteries are easily replaced and don't require specialized tools.
