Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are tiny circuits that are embedded in your keys and 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 that in the BCM's memory, the immobilizer is deactivated and the engine starts. If the ID code doesn't match, the security light will be lit and your car won't be allowed to start.

Transponders can be hacked. Car thieves have devised ways to bypass security systems to steal over time. A spare key with an active transponder can assist in stopping this.

Smart Keys Keys

Smart keys aren't just a convenient convenience. They also make it difficult for thieves to get into your car. Smart keys do not broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead, they send out different encrypted messages each when they open the door or remotely unlock the trunk. The car's computer recognizes the different frequencies, and will only allow the car to start only when the correct key matches.

A BMW smart key, for example, has a small LCD touchscreen that performs the usual functions of a normal key for fiat 500 fob (locking and unlocking, as well as keyless start), but also gives you the ability to save individual driver settings, turn off windows or sunroofs, and even command your car to self park from the key. These types of features makes smart keys stand apart from traditional keys.

Despite this added layer of security, there are ways for smart keys to be hacked. If someone else receives low-frequency signals between your smart key and your car while you are away, for example at a restaurant or a petrol station, they can gain access to your car (or at the very least, attempt to).

The good news is that most smart keys have battery backups that will start should the main battery fail. Many smart key batteries are quickly replaced and don't typically require specialized tools.
