Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are tiny circuits that are embedded in your keys and communicate with the 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 is identical to that stored in the BCM memory the immobilizer will be disabled and the engine will start. If the ID code isn't compatible, the security light will be lit and the car won't start.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't just cool convenience, they also make it difficult for thieves to get into your car. Smart keys don't broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they send out various encrypted messages each time they open a door or remotely unlock the trunk. The computer in your car recognizes the changes in frequency and will only allow the car to start when the correct key matches.

A BMW smart key, for example features a small LCD color touchscreen on it that performs the usual functions of a typical key fob (locking and unlocking, as well as keyless start) It also gives you the ability to store individual driver settings, switch off sunroofs or windows, and even instruct your car to self-park from within the key.

The good news is that a majority of smart keys have battery backups that will be activated if the main battery dies. Many smart key batteries are quickly replaced and don't typically require special tools.
