Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are tiny circuits that are integrated into your key to communicate with the immobilizer. When you turn the key into the ignition the chip sends an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If that ID code matches the one stored in the BCM's memory then the immobilizer will be disabled and the engine is started. If the ID code doesn't match the security light won't come on and the car will not start.

Transponders are not invincible. Car thieves have developed ways to bypass anti-theft systems throughout the years. A spare key with an active transponder will help to prevent this.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't only a convenient convenience. They also make it more difficult for thieves to get into your car. Smart keys don't transmit the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they send out various encrypted messages each time they open the door or remotely unlock the trunk. The car's computer detects the fluctuating frequencies, and will only allow the car to start when the correct key is found.

BMW smart keys, for instance, have a small LCD touchscreen that performs the similar functions of a standard key fob. This includes locking and unlocking, as well as keyless entry. They also let users to save their own driver settings, stop windows or sunroofs as and tell your car how to park itself. These kinds of features make smart keys stand apart from their conventional counterparts.

Despite this additional layer of security, there are ways for smart keys to be compromised. If someone else detects the low-frequency transmissions between your smart keys and your car while you are away, for instance in a restaurant or a gas station, they can gain access to your car (or at least attempt to).

The good news is that a majority of smart keys have batteries that can kick in if the main battery dies. Additionally, many smart keys' batteries are easy to replace and typically don't require any special tools.
