Transponder Chips
Transponder chips are small circuits in your key that communicate with your car's immobilizer. When the key is switched on, the chip sends a code to Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If the ID code matches with that stored in the BCM memory, the immobilizer will be turned off and the engine will begin.

Smart Keys
Smart keys aren't just a convenient feature. They also make it more difficult for car thieves get into your car. Instead of sending out the same frequency signal like traditional keys, smart keys broadcast different encrypted signals each when they unlock doors remotely or open the trunk. The computer in your car recognizes the changing frequencies, and will only allow it to start when the correct key matches.
BMW smart keys, for instance, have a small LCD touchscreen that can perform the same functions as a traditional key fob, such as locking and unlocking as well as keyless entry. They also allow you to save your personal driver settings, close windows or sunroofs as as tell your car to park itself. These kinds of features are what help to set smart keys apart from traditional keys.
Smart keys aren't 100% secure. If someone in your vicinity receives low-frequency signals between your smart key and your car while you are away, like at a gas or restaurant station, they can gain access to your car (or at least attempt to).
The good news is most smart keys come with a backup battery that is activated if the main battery dies. Additionally, many smart keys' batteries are simple to replace and generally don't require any tools.
