Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are small circuits in your key that communicate with the car's immobilizer. When you turn the key in the ignition the chip transmits an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If the ID code matches the one stored in the BCM memory the immobilizer is disabled and the engine will begin. If the ID code isn't compatible, the security light will be on and the vehicle won't start.

Smart Keys Keys

Smart keys aren't just a cool convenience they also make it hard for car thieves to take your vehicle. Instead of transmitting the same frequency signal as traditional key fobs, smart keys transmit different encrypted signals every when they unlock doors or remotely open the trunk. A computer inside your vehicle is able to recognize the frequency shifts and only allows it to start if the correct key matches the new fiat 500 key fob signal.

A BMW smart key, for example it has a tiny LCD color touchscreen on it that performs the standard functions of a regular key fob (locking, unlocking and keyless start) It also gives you the capability to save individual driver settings, switch off sunroofs and windows, and even instruct your car to auto park inside the key. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.

Smart keys aren't completely secure. If someone in your vicinity receives the low-frequency transmissions sent between your smart device and your car it could allow access to your vehicle (or at the very least, attempt to) by picking up on these signals when you're away from your vehicle like at restaurants or at a gas station.

The good news is most smart keys have a battery backup which kicks in when your main battery dies. Additionally, many smart keys' batteries are easy to replace and generally don't require any tools.
