Transponder Chips
Transponder chips are tiny circuits integrated into your key to communicate with the immobilizer. When the key is turned into the ignition, the chip transmits an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If the ID code matches the one stored in the BCM memory the immobilizer will turn off and the engine will begin. If the ID code does not match, the security light will come on and your vehicle won't be able to start.
Transponders don't guarantee absolute security but, as car thieves have evolved over time to come up with ways to get around security systems to prevent theft. Having a spare key with an active transponder can prevent this from occurring.

Smart Keys Keys
Smart keys aren't only a practical convenience. They also make it harder for car thieves get into your car. Instead of sending out the same frequency signal as traditional key fobs, smart keys emit various encrypted signals each when they unlock doors or remotely open the trunk. The car's computer detects the fluctuating frequencies, and will only allow the car to start when the correct key is found.
A BMW smart key, for instance features a small LCD touchscreen that can perform the basic functions of a normal key fob (locking and unlocking, as well as keyless start), but also gives you the ability to store personal driver settings, turn off sunroofs or windows, and also command your car to auto park inside the key. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.
Smart keys aren't entirely secure. If someone close to you is able to hear the low frequency transmissions transmitted between your smart keys and your car, they could gain access to your car (or at least try to) by detecting these signals while you're away from your car like at the gas station or in a restaurant.
The good news is that most smart keys come with batteries that can begin to function when the main battery fails.
