Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are tiny circuits integrated into your key to communicate with the immobilizer. When the key is switched on, the chip transmits a code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If that ID code matches the one in the BCM's memory, then the immobilizer will be disabled and the engine is started. If the ID code isn't compatible the security light will be lit and the car won't start.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't only a convenient convenience. They also make it difficult for car thieves get into your car. Instead of sending out the same frequency signal like traditional key fobs, smart keys emit various encrypted signals each time they unlock doors remotely or open the trunk. fiat car keys in your car detects the fluctuating frequencies, and will only let it start when the key that you want to use matches.

A BMW smart key, for example is equipped with a tiny LCD touchscreen in color which performs the typical functions of a regular key fob (locking or unlocking and keyless start) however, it also gives you the ability to save individual driver settings, turn off sunroofs and windows, as well as command your car to self park inside the key. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.

Despite this added layer of security, there are ways that smart keys could be hacked. If someone near you picks up the low-frequency transmissions between your smart keys and your vehicle, even when you are away, such as in a restaurant or a gas station, they can gain access to your car (or at least attempt to).

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