Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are mini-circuits inside your key that communicate with your car's immobilizer. When you turn the key in the ignition, the chip transmits an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If the ID code is identical to that stored in the BCM memory, the immobilizer will turn off and the engine will be able to start. If the ID code doesn't match, the security light will be on and the vehicle will not start.

Transponders aren't perfect however, since car thieves have developed over time to come up with ways to evade security systems to prevent theft. A spare key that has an active transponder can prevent this from occurring.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't just an awesome convenience but also make it difficult for car thieves to steal your car. Instead of broadcasting the same frequency similar to traditional key fobs smart keys emit different encrypted signals each when they unlock a door or remotely open the trunk. The car's computer detects the fluctuating frequencies, and will only allow it to start when the key that you want to use matches.

BMW smart keys, for instance they have a tiny LCD touchscreen that can perform the same functions of a standard key fob, like locking, unlocking, and keyless entry. However, they also allow you to store your own driver settings, shut down windows or sunroofs as as tell your car to park itself. These types of features help to set smart keys apart from traditional keys.

Smart keys are not completely secure. If someone in your vicinity is able to hear the low frequency transmissions sent between your smart key and your vehicle it could allow access to your car (or at least try to) by spotting these signals while you're away from your car like at an eatery or gas station.

The positive side is that many smart keys have backup batteries that begin to function should the main battery fail. Additionally, many smart keys' batteries are easy to replace and don't require any tools.
