Instead of broadcasting the same frequency signal similar to traditional key fobs smart keys send out various encrypted signals each when they unlock the door or remotely open the trunk. A computer inside your car is able to detect the frequency shifts and only allows it to begin if the correct key is in line with the new signal.

BMW smart keys, for example are equipped with a tiny LCD touchscreen that performs the same functions of a standard key fob. This includes locking or unlocking and keyless entry. But they also allow you to store your own driver settings, shut down windows or sunroofs, as well and tell your car how to park itself. These kinds of features are what make smart keys stand apart from their conventional counterparts.

Smart keys aren't completely secure. If someone in your vicinity can detect low-frequency transmissions between your smart keys and your car while you are away, for instance at a restaurant or a petrol station, they could gain access to your car (or at least attempt to).

The positive side is that many smart keys come with batteries that can be activated when the main battery is dead. Many smart key batteries can be easily replaced and do not require specialized tools.
