Transponder Chips Transponder chips are tiny circuits that are embedded in your keys and communicate with the immobilizer. When the key is switched on, the chip transmits 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 is started. If the ID code doesn't match, the security light will come on and your car will not be able to start. Transponders aren't perfect however, because car thieves have developed over time to come up with ways of bypassing security systems to prevent theft. A spare key that has functioning transponders can help prevent this from happening. We suggest calling us for the price of a new key with a transponder that functions.

They also make it harder for thieves to get into your car. Instead of broadcasting the same frequency signal like traditional keys, smart keys emit different encrypted signals every time they unlock a door or remotely open the trunk. A computer in your vehicle then detects these different frequencies and allows it to begin if the correct key is compatible with the new signal. BMW smart keys, for instance include a small LCD touchscreen that can perform the same functions of a standard key fob. This includes locking and unlocking as well as keyless entry. However, they also allow you to save your personal driver settings, close windows or sunroofs as well as tell your car to park itself. Smart keys are distinguished by these features. Despite this additional layer of security, there are ways that smart keys could be hacked. If someone close to you receives the low frequency transmissions transmitted between your smart keys and your car or vehicle, they could gain access to your vehicle (or at the very least attempt to) by detecting the signals even if you're not from your car like at the gas station or in a restaurant. The good news is most smart keys have a battery backup which kicks in when your primary battery fails. In addition, many smart key batteries are easy to replace and typically do not require any special tools.
