Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are tiny circuits within your key that communicate with your car's immobilizer. When the key is switched on, the chip sends a code to 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 isn't compatible the security light won't be on and the vehicle won't start.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't just an awesome convenience but they also make it hard for thieves to get into your vehicle. Smart keys do not broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead, they send out different encrypted messages each time they open a door or remotely unlock the trunk. A computer inside your vehicle then detects these different frequencies and allows it to start if the right key matches the latest signal.

A BMW smart key, for example features a small LCD touchscreen that performs the usual functions of a standard key fob (locking, unlocking and keyless start), but also gives you the ability to save personal driver settings, turn off windows or sunroofs, and even command your car to auto park from the key. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.

Smart keys aren't 100% secure. If someone close to you receives low frequency signals sent between your smart device and your vehicle it could allow access to your car (or at the very least, attempt to) by detecting these signals while you're away from your car for example, at the gas station or in a restaurant.

The positive side is that many smart keys have backup batteries that start when the main battery is dead. Many smart key batteries can be easily replaced and don't usually require specialized tools.
