Transponder chips are mini-circuits inside your key that communicate with the car's immobilizer. When the key is turned on, 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 will turn off and the engine will start. If the ID code doesn't match, the security light will turn on and your car will not be able to start.

Transponders aren't immune to. Car thieves have developed ways to bypass anti-theft systems over the years. A spare key with an active transponder will assist in stopping this.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't just a cool convenience but also make it more difficult for thieves to steal your vehicle. Smart keys don't broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead, they send out different encrypted messages every when they open doors or remotely unlock the trunk. The computer in your car recognizes the changing frequencies, and will only allow the car to start when the correct key is found.

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


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

The good news is that a majority of smart keys have battery backups that will begin to function should the main battery fail. Many smart key batteries can be easily replaced and don't usually require specialized tools.
