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 transmits 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 turn off and the engine will be able to start. If the ID code isn't compatible the security light will be on and the vehicle won't start.

Smart Keys
Smart keys aren't just a great convenience but they also make it hard for car thieves to take your vehicle. Smart keys do not transmit the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they send different encrypted messages every time they open doors or remotely unlock the trunk. The car's computer detects the fluctuating frequencies, and will only allow the car to start when the key that you want to use matches.
A BMW smart key, for example, has a small LCD touchscreen that performs the usual functions of a standard key fob (locking in, unlocking and keyless start), but also gives you the capability to save individual driver settings, switch off sunroofs and windows, as well as command your car to self-park inside the key. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.
Despite this added layer of security, there are still ways that smart keys can be hacked. If someone in your vicinity receives low frequency signals sent between your smart device and your vehicle, they could gain access to your vehicle (or at the very least, attempt to) by picking up on the signals even if you're not from your vehicle, such as at an eatery or gas station.
The good news is that a majority of smart keys have battery backups that will start when the main battery fails. Additionally, many smart keys' batteries are easy to replace and usually don't require any special tools.
