Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are miniature circuits inside your key that communicate with the car's immobilizer. When the key is turned on, the chip sends an identification code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If the ID code is identical to that stored in the BCM memory the immobilizer will be disabled and the engine will begin. If the ID code doesn't match, the security light will turn on and your car will not be able to start.

Smart Keys Keys

Smart keys aren't just cool convenience, they also make it harder for car thieves to steal your car. Instead of broadcasting the same frequency like traditional key fobs, smart keys transmit different encrypted signals each time they unlock a door or remotely open the trunk. The computer in your car recognizes the changes in frequency and will only allow it to begin when the key that you want to use matches.

A BMW smart key, for example, has a small LCD touchscreen in color that performs the standard functions of a normal key fob (locking or unlocking and keyless start) However, it also offers you the ability to store individual driver settings, shut off sunroofs or windows, as well as command your car to auto park from the key. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.

Smart keys aren't 100% secure. If someone near you receives the low frequency transmissions transmitted between your smart keys and your car, they could gain access to your car (or at the very least, attempt to) by spotting these signals while you're away from your car, such as at an eatery or gas station.

The good news is that most smart keys have a battery backup that will kick in if your main battery fails. Many smart keys' batteries can be easily replaced and don't require special tools.
