Transponder Chips Transponder chips are tiny circuits embedded into your key and communicate with the immobilizer. When the key is turned in the ignition the chip sends an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM).

Instead of transmitting the same frequency signal as traditional key fobs, smart keys transmit different encrypted signals each when they unlock doors remotely or open the trunk. A computer in your vehicle then detects the frequency shifts and only allows it to start if the correct key is in line with the new signal. A BMW smart key, for example it has a tiny LCD color touchscreen on it which performs the typical functions of a standard key fob (locking or unlocking and keyless start) However, it also offers you the ability to save individual driver settings, switch off windows or sunroofs, and even command your car to automatically park from the key. These types of features can set smart keys apart from traditional keys. Smart keys are not completely secure. If someone else picks up 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 could gain access to your car (or at the very least, attempt to). The good news is most smart keys have a backup battery that kicks in if your main battery fails. Furthermore, a lot of smart key batteries are simple to replace and typically don't require any special tools.
