Smart Keys Keys

A BMW smart key, for example, has a small LCD touchscreen in color that performs the usual functions of a regular key fob (locking, unlocking and keyless start) It also gives you the ability to store personal driver settings, turn off sunroofs or windows, and even command your car to automatically park from within the key.

If someone near you can detect low-frequency transmissions between your smart key and your car while you are away, for example in a restaurant or a gas station, they could gain access to your car (or at least attempt to).

The positive side is that many smart keys come with battery backups that will begin to function when the main battery fails. Many smart key batteries can be easily replaced and don't require special tools.
