Smart Keys Keys
Smart keys aren't just an awesome convenience but they also make it difficult for thieves to steal your vehicle. Instead of broadcasting the same frequency similar to traditional key fobs smart keys transmit various encrypted signals each time they unlock the door or remotely open the trunk. A computer inside your car is able to detect these changing frequencies and only allows it to start if the correct key is compatible with the new signal.
A BMW smart key, for example, has a small LCD touchscreen that performs the usual functions of a standard key fob (locking in, unlocking and keyless start), but also gives you the ability to store individual driver settings, switch off sunroofs and windows, and also command your car to automatically park from the key. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.
Smart keys are not completely secure. If someone who is close to you receives low frequency signals sent between your smart device and your car, they could gain access to your vehicle (or at the very least, attempt to) by picking up on the signals even if you're not from your car in restaurants or at a gas station.
The good thing is that many smart keys have a battery backup that will kick in if your main battery fails. Many smart key batteries are quickly replaced and don't typically require specialized tools.
