Smart Keys
Smart keys aren't just a great convenience, they also make it more difficult for thieves to steal your car. Smart keys do not broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they transmit different encrypted messages every time they open doors or remotely unlock the trunk. The computer in your car recognizes the different frequencies, and will only allow the car to start when the correct key matches.

If someone near you receives the low-frequency transmissions sent between your smart device and your car, they could gain access to your vehicle (or at least try to) by picking up on these signals even when you're away from your car, such as at the gas station or in a restaurant.
The good news is that the majority of smart keys have a backup battery that is activated if the main battery goes out. Many smart key batteries are easily replaced and do not require specialized tools.
