Transponder Chips Transponder chips are tiny circuits embedded into your key and communicate with the immobilizer. When the key is switched on, the chip sends an identification code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If the ID code matches the one in the BCM's memory, then the immobilizer is disabled and the engine starts. If the ID code doesn't match, the security light will come on and your car won't be allowed to start. Transponders aren't perfect, however, as car thieves have evolved over time to discover ways to evade anti-theft systems. A spare key with an active transponder can aid in preventing this.

Smart Keys Smart keys aren't just a convenient feature. They also make it harder for car thieves steal your vehicle. Instead of broadcasting the same frequency like traditional keys, smart keys send out different encrypted signals each when they unlock a door or remotely open the trunk. A computer inside your car then recognizes these changing frequencies and only allows it to start if the right key is compatible with the new signal. A BMW smart key, for instance features a small LCD touchscreen that can perform the basic functions of a normal key fob (locking or unlocking and keyless start) However, it also offers the option to store individual driver settings, switch off windows or sunroofs, and also command your car to auto park from the key. Smart keys are distinguished by these features. Smart keys aren't 100% secure. If someone close to you receives low frequency signals transmitted between your smart keys and your car or vehicle, they could gain access to your car (or at least try to) by picking up on these signals while you're away from your vehicle like at an eatery or gas station. The good news is that most smart keys have battery backups that start if the main battery dies. Furthermore, a lot of smart key batteries are easy to replace and generally do not require any special tools.
