Transponder Chips
Transponder chips are tiny circuits that are embedded in your keys and communicate with the immobilizer. When the key is switched on, the chip transmits a code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If the ID code matches the one stored in the BCM memory, the immobilizer will turn off and the engine will start. If the ID code doesn't match the security light will be on and the vehicle won't start.
Transponders aren't invincible. Car thieves have found ways to get around anti-theft systems throughout the years. A spare key that has an active transponder will aid in preventing this.

Smart Keys Keys
Smart keys aren't only an excellent convenience. They also make it more difficult for car thieves take your car. Instead of transmitting the same frequency signal like traditional keys, smart keys send out different encrypted signals every when they unlock doors remotely or open the trunk. A computer inside your vehicle is able to recognize these changing frequencies and only allows it to start if the right key is compatible with the new signal.
A BMW smart key, for example features a small LCD color touchscreen on it which performs the typical functions of a normal key fob (locking or unlocking and keyless start) It also gives you the ability to store personal driver settings, turn off sunroofs or windows, and even command your car to self park from within the key. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.
Despite this added layer of security, there are still ways that smart keys can be hacked. If someone close to you can detect low-frequency transmissions between your smart keys and your vehicle, even when you are away, for instance at a restaurant or a petrol station, they could gain access to your car (or at least attempt to).
The positive side is that many smart keys have battery backups that be activated when the main battery is dead. Many smart key batteries can be easily replaced and don't require special tools.
