Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are small circuits in your key that communicate with the 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 that ID code matches that stored in the BCM's memory then the immobilizer is disabled and the engine starts. If the ID code doesn't match, the security lamp will come on and your car won't be allowed to start.

A transponder isn't invincible however, because car thieves have developed over time to come up with ways to bypass anti-theft systems. A spare key with a working transponder can help keep this from happening.

Smart keys aren't just cool convenience, they also make it harder for thieves to get into your vehicle. Instead of sending out the same frequency signal as traditional key fobs, smart keys broadcast various encrypted signals each time they unlock doors or remotely open the trunk. A computer in your vehicle then detects the frequency shifts and only allows it to begin if the correct key is in line with the new signal.

BMW smart keys, for instance, have a small LCD touchscreen that can perform the same functions as a standard key fob, such as locking and unlocking, as well as keyless entry. But they also allow users to save their own driver settings, turn off windows or sunroofs as well and instruct your car to park itself. These types of features can set smart keys apart from conventional keys.

Smart keys are not completely secure. If https://www.g28carkeys.co.uk/fiat-car-key-replacements-near-me/ detects the low-frequency transmissions between your smart keys and your vehicle, even when you are away, for instance at a gas or restaurant station, they can gain access to your car (or at the very least, attempt to).

The good news is that most smart keys have a battery backup that kicks in if your main battery goes out. Furthermore, a lot of smart key batteries are simple to replace and typically don't require any special tools.
