Transponder Chips
Transponder chips are tiny circuits embedded in your keys and communicate with the immobilizer. When the key is switched on, the chip transmits an ID code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If that ID code matches the one stored in the BCM's memory then the immobilizer is turned off and your engine starts. If the ID code isn't compatible the security light will appear and the car will not start.
Transponders aren't invincible. Car thieves have developed ways to bypass anti-theft systems over time. Having a spare key with a working transponder can help keep this from occurring.

Smart Keys Keys
Smart keys aren't just cool convenience, they also make it hard for thieves to get into your vehicle. Instead of transmitting the same frequency signal as traditional key fobs, smart keys transmit different encrypted signals every time they unlock doors remotely or open the trunk. The computer in your car recognizes the different frequencies, and will only allow it to begin when the correct key matches.
BMW smart keys, for example include a small LCD touchscreen that performs the same functions as a standard key fob. This includes locking or unlocking and keyless entry. But they also allow you to save your personal driver settings, turn off 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 else detects the low-frequency transmissions between your smart key, and your car while you are away, such as at a restaurant or a petrol station, they can gain access to your car (or at least attempt to).
The good news is that the majority of smart keys have a backup battery that will kick in if your primary battery fails. Many smart key batteries are easily replaced and don't usually require special tools.
