Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't just a convenient convenience. They also make it more difficult for thieves to take your car. Instead of broadcasting the same frequency like traditional keys, smart keys broadcast different encrypted signals every time they unlock doors remotely or open the trunk. The computer in your car recognizes the changes in frequency and will only let it start when the correct key matches.

BMW smart keys, for example include a small LCD touchscreen that can perform the same functions of a standard key fob. This includes locking and unlocking as well as keyless entry. But they also allow you to store your own driver settings, shut down windows or sunroofs as well as tell your car to park itself. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.

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, such as 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 have battery backups that be activated when the main battery is dead. Additionally, many smart key batteries are easy to replace and usually don't require any special tools.
