Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are mini-circuits inside your key that communicate with your car's immobilizer. When the key is turned on, the chip transmits an identification code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If that ID code matches that stored in the BCM's memory then the immobilizer is turned off and the engine starts. If the ID code doesn't match, the security lamp will turn on and your car won't be able to start.

Transponders aren't immune to. Car thieves have devised ways to get around anti-theft systems over the years. A spare key with a functioning transponder could help to prevent this from happening.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't just a great convenience but they also make it hard for car thieves to steal your vehicle. Instead of broadcasting the same frequency signal like traditional key fobs, smart keys broadcast various encrypted signals each when they unlock the door or remotely open the trunk. A computer in your vehicle is able to recognize the changing frequencies and only allows it to start if the appropriate key is compatible with the new signal.

A BMW smart key, for example it has a tiny LCD touchscreen in color which performs the typical functions of a standard key fob (locking and unlocking, as well as keyless start) However, it also offers the option to store individual driver settings, turn off windows or sunroofs and also command your car to auto park inside the key. These types of features can set smart keys apart from conventional keys.

Despite this added layer of security, there are still ways that smart keys can be compromised. If someone near you is able to hear the low frequency transmissions sent between your smart device and your car, they could gain access to your car (or at the very least, attempt to) by picking up on these signals when you're away from your vehicle in a gas station or restaurant.

The good news is that most smart keys come with battery backups that will start should the main battery fail. Many smart key batteries can be easily replaced and do not require special tools.
