Transponder Chips Transponder chips are miniature circuits inside your key that communicate with the car's immobilizer. When the key is turned on, the chip sends an ID code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If the ID code matches the one in the BCM's memory, the immobilizer is deactivated and the engine will start. If the ID code doesn't match, the security light will be on and the vehicle won't start.

Smart keys do not broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they send out various encrypted messages every time they open doors or remotely unlock the trunk. The computer in your car recognizes the changing frequencies, and will only allow the car to start when the correct key is found. A BMW smart key, for example, has a small LCD color touchscreen on it that performs the standard functions of a typical key fob (locking, unlocking and keyless start), but also gives you the ability to store individual driver settings, turn off windows or sunroofs, and also command your car to self park from within the key. These types of features help to set smart keys apart from their conventional counterparts. Despite this added layer of security, there are still ways for smart keys to be compromised. If someone who is close to you receives low frequency signals sent between your smart key and your vehicle and they gain access to your car (or at the very least, attempt to) by spotting these signals when you're away from your vehicle for example, at the gas station or in a restaurant. The good news is that the majority of smart keys come with a battery backup that is activated if the main battery dies. Many smart key batteries can be quickly replaced and don't typically require special tools.
