Instead they transmit different encrypted messages every when they open doors or remotely unlock the trunk. A computer in your vehicle is able to recognize these changing frequencies and only allows it to start if the right key matches the latest signal.

A BMW smart key, for instance features a small LCD touchscreen in color which performs the typical functions of a regular key fob (locking and unlocking, as well as keyless start), but also gives you the ability to store individual driver settings, shut off windows or sunroofs, and even instruct your car to auto park by using the key.

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