Transponder Chips
Transponder chips are tiny circuits within your key that communicate with the car's immobilizer. When the key is turned on the chip sends an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If the ID code matches with that stored in the BCM memory the immobilizer will turn off and the engine will be able to start. If the ID code does not match, the security light will come on and your vehicle won't be able to start.
Transponders can be hacked. Car thieves have devised ways to bypass anti-theft systems throughout the years. A spare key that has an active transponder will assist in stopping this.

Smart Keys Keys
Smart keys aren't just an excellent convenience. They also make it harder for thieves to get into your car. Smart keys don't broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead, they send out different encrypted messages each when they open the door or remotely unlock the trunk. A computer in your vehicle then detects these changing frequencies and only allows it to start if the appropriate key matches the new signal.
A BMW smart key, for instance it has a tiny LCD touchscreen that performs the standard functions of a typical key fob (locking and unlocking, as well as keyless start) however, it also gives the option to store individual driver settings, turn off sunroofs or windows, and even command your car to automatically park from the
key fiat. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.
Despite this added layer of security, there are still ways that smart keys could be hacked. If someone close to you receives low frequency signals that are sent between your smart key and your vehicle, they could gain access to your car (or at the very least attempt to) by picking up on these signals while you're away from your vehicle, such as at an eatery or gas station.
The good news is most smart keys come with a backup battery that is activated if the primary battery fails. Additionally, many smart keys' batteries are simple to replace and usually don't require any tools.
