Transponder Chips Transponder chips are tiny circuits that are embedded in your keys and communicate with the immobilizer. When ignition switch is turned on the chip sends an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If the ID code is identical to that stored in the BCM memory the immobilizer will turn off and the engine will start. If the ID code doesn't match, the security light will light up and your car won't be allowed to start.

Smart Keys Keys Smart keys aren't just cool convenience but they also make it difficult for thieves to get into your car. Smart keys do not transmit the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they send different encrypted messages each time they open doors or remotely unlock the trunk. The car's computer detects the fluctuating frequencies, and will only allow it to start only when the correct key matches. BMW smart keys, for instance, have a small LCD touchscreen that can perform the same functions of a standard key fob, such as locking and unlocking, as well as keyless entry. However, they also allow you to save your personal driver settings, shut down windows or sunroofs as well as tell your car to park itself. Smart keys are distinguished by these features. Despite this additional layer of security, there are still ways that smart keys could be hacked. If someone in your vicinity receives low frequency signals sent between your smart device and your car it could allow access to your vehicle (or at the very least, attempt to) by detecting these signals even when you're away from your vehicle in a gas station or restaurant. The good news is that most smart keys come with battery backups that be activated when the main battery fails. Furthermore, a lot of smart key batteries are easy to replace and don't require any special tools.
