Transponder Chips
Transponder chips are tiny circuits within your key that communicate with the car's immobilizer. When you turn the key on the chip transmits an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If that ID code matches the one stored in the BCM's memory then the immobilizer is disabled and the engine is started. If the ID code does not match, the security light will be lit and the car won't start.
Transponders aren't perfect however, since car thieves have developed over time to discover ways of bypassing anti-theft systems. A spare key with a working transponder can help keep this from happening.

Smart Keys Keys
Smart keys aren't just an awesome convenience but they also make it difficult for thieves to steal your vehicle. Smart keys do not broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they transmit different encrypted messages each time they open a door or remotely unlock the trunk. The car's computer recognizes the different frequencies, and will only let it start when the correct key matches.
A BMW smart key, for instance is equipped with a tiny LCD color touchscreen on it which performs the typical functions of a typical key fob (locking, unlocking and keyless start) It also gives you the capability to save individual driver settings, shut off windows or sunroofs, and even command your car to self-park inside the key. These types of features make smart keys stand apart from their traditional counterparts.
Smart keys aren't completely secure. If someone else picks up the low-frequency transmissions between your smart keys and your car, while you are away, like 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 that most smart keys have a backup battery that will kick in if your main battery goes out. Furthermore, a lot of smart key batteries are easy to replace and generally don't require any special tools.
