Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are tiny circuits that are integrated into your key to communicate with the immobilizer. When the key is turned on, the chip transmits an identification code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If the ID code matches the one stored in the BCM memory, the immobilizer will be disabled and the engine will start. If the ID code does not match, the security lamp will light up and your car won't be able to start.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't just a convenient feature. They also make it more difficult for car thieves get into your car. Instead of broadcasting the same frequency signal like traditional key fobs, smart keys send out different encrypted signals each when they unlock doors remotely or open the trunk. A computer inside your vehicle then detects the frequency shifts and only allows it to start if the appropriate key matches the new signal.

BMW smart keys, for instance are equipped with a tiny LCD touchscreen that can perform the similar functions of a standard key fob, such as locking, unlocking, and keyless entry. But they also allow you to store your own driver settings, close windows or sunroofs as as instruct your car to park itself. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.

Despite this added layer of security, there are still ways that smart keys can be hacked.

The good thing is that many smart keys have a battery backup that will kick in if your main battery goes out. Additionally, many smart key batteries are simple to replace and typically don't require any tools.
