Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are tiny circuits that are embedded into your key and communicate with the immobilizer. When you turn the key in the ignition the chip sends an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If that ID code matches that in the BCM's memory, the immobilizer is deactivated and the engine is started. If the ID code does not match the security light won't be lit and the car won't start.

Transponders are not invincible. Car thieves have developed ways to bypass anti-theft systems over the years. A spare key with an active transponder can assist in stopping this.

Smart Keys Keys

Smart keys aren't just an awesome convenience but also make it harder for thieves to get into your vehicle. Smart keys don't broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead, they send out different encrypted messages each when they open doors or remotely unlock the trunk. A computer in your car then recognizes the frequency shifts and only allows it to begin if the correct key matches the new signal.

A BMW smart key, for instance it has a tiny LCD touchscreen that performs the standard functions of a regular key fob (locking or unlocking and keyless start), but also gives you the capability to save individual driver settings, switch off windows or sunroofs, as well as command your car to self-park from the key. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.

Despite this added layer of security, there are ways for smart keys to be hacked. If someone near you is able to hear the low frequency transmissions sent between your smart key and your car it could allow access to your car (or at the very least attempt to) by picking up on the signals even if you're not from your car in restaurants or at a gas station.

The good news is that the majority of smart keys come with battery backups that will begin to function if the main battery dies. Many smart key batteries are easily replaced and don't usually require special tools.
