Transponder Chips
Transponder chips are tiny circuits embedded in your key and communicate with the immobilizer. When the key is switched on, the chip transmits an ID code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If that ID code matches the one in the BCM's memory, then the immobilizer is disabled and the engine is started. If the ID code isn't compatible, the security light will be lit and the car will not start.

The car's computer recognizes the different frequencies, and will only let it start only when the correct key matches.

Smart keys are distinguished by these features.
Despite this additional layer of security, there are ways that smart keys can be hacked. If someone in your vicinity is able to hear the low frequency transmissions that are sent between your smart key and your vehicle or vehicle, they could gain access to your car (or at the very least attempt to) by picking up on these signals while you're away from your vehicle like at an eatery or gas station.
The good news is that most smart keys have batteries that can kick in when the main battery is dead. Many smart keys' batteries can be easily replaced and don't require special tools.
