Transponder Chips
Transponder chips are tiny circuits that are integrated into your key to communicate with the immobilizer. When the key is turned on, the chip sends an identification code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If that ID code matches that stored in the BCM's memory then the immobilizer is turned off and the engine starts. If the ID code doesn't match, the security lamp will turn on and your car won't be allowed to start.
A transponder isn't invincible however, because car thieves have developed in the past to find ways to bypass anti-theft systems. A spare key that has functioning transponders can help to stop this from happening.

Smart Keys Keys
Smart keys aren't only an excellent convenience. They also make it difficult for thieves to steal your vehicle. Instead of sending out the same frequency signal as traditional key fobs, smart keys send out different encrypted signals every when they unlock a door or remotely open the trunk. A computer inside your vehicle is able to recognize the frequency shifts and only allows it to begin if the correct key matches the new signal.
BMW smart keys, for example, have a small LCD touchscreen that performs the same functions as a traditional key fob, including locking or unlocking and keyless entry. They also allow users to save their own driver settings, turn off windows or sunroofs as well as tell your car to park itself. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.
Despite this added layer of security, there are ways for smart keys to be compromised. If someone close to you receives the low frequency transmissions transmitted between your smart keys and your vehicle and they gain access to your vehicle (or at the very least attempt to) by picking up on these signals even when you're away from your car like at a gas station or restaurant.
The good news is that most smart keys come with battery backups that will be activated if the main battery dies. Additionally, many smart keys' batteries are easy to replace and usually do not require any special tools.
