Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are small circuits in your key that communicate with your car's immobilizer.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't only an excellent convenience. They also make it difficult for car thieves take your car. Instead of sending out the same frequency signal like traditional key fobs, smart keys emit different encrypted signals each time they unlock a door or remotely open the trunk. A computer inside your vehicle is able to recognize the changing frequencies and only allows it to begin if the correct key matches the new signal.


BMW smart keys, for instance are equipped with a tiny LCD touchscreen that performs the same functions as a standard key fob, including locking or unlocking and keyless entry. However, they also allow you to store your own driver settings, shut down windows or sunroofs, as well and instruct your car to park itself. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.

Smart keys aren't 100% secure. If someone who is close to you receives the low frequency transmissions that are sent between your smart key and your car or vehicle, they could gain access to your car (or at the very least, attempt to) by picking up on these signals when you're away from your car in an eatery or gas station.

The positive side is that many smart keys come with battery backups that begin to function when the main battery is dead. Many smart key batteries can be quickly replaced and don't typically require special tools.
