Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are miniature circuits inside your key that communicate with your car's immobilizer. When the key is turned into the ignition, the chip transmits an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If the ID code matches that stored in the BCM memory the immobilizer is disabled and the engine will start. If the ID code does not match the security light won't appear and the car won't start.

Transponders are not invincible. Car thieves have come up with ways to circumvent anti-theft systems over time. A spare key that has an active transponder can keep this from happening.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't only a practical convenience. They also make it more difficult for thieves to steal your vehicle. Smart keys do not broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they send different encrypted messages each time they open a door or remotely unlock the trunk. A computer inside your vehicle is able to recognize the frequency shifts and only allows it to start if the right key matches the latest signal.

A BMW smart key, for example, has a small LCD touchscreen in color that performs the standard functions of a standard key fob (locking, unlocking and keyless start) It also gives you the capability to save individual driver settings, shut off windows or sunroofs and even command your car to self park from within the key. These types of features make smart keys stand apart from their conventional counterparts.

Despite this added layer of security, there are still ways that smart keys can be compromised. If someone near you is able to hear the low frequency transmissions sent between your smart device and your vehicle and they gain access to your car (or at the very least, attempt to) by spotting these signals even when you're away from your car like at the gas station or in a restaurant.

The good thing is that many smart keys come with a battery backup that will kick in if your primary battery fails. Furthermore, a lot of smart key batteries are simple to replace and don't require any special tools.
