Transponder Chips
Transponder chips are tiny circuits that are embedded into your key and communicate with the immobilizer. When the key is turned on, the chip transmits an ID code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If the ID code matches the one stored in the BCM's memory then the immobilizer is disabled and the engine will start. If the ID code does not match, the security light will turn on and your car will not be able to start.
Transponders are not invincible. Car thieves have devised ways to bypass anti-theft systems over time. A spare key that has a functioning transponder could help prevent this from happening.

Smart Keys Keys
Smart keys aren't just an awesome convenience but also make it harder for car thieves to take your car. Smart keys don't transmit the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they transmit different encrypted messages every when they open the door or remotely unlock the trunk. The car's computer detects the fluctuating frequencies, and will only allow it to start when the correct key is found.
The Keylab , for instance features a small LCD color touchscreen on it that can perform the basic functions of a normal key fob (locking and unlocking, as well as keyless start) It also gives you the ability to save individual driver settings, shut off windows or sunroofs, as well as command your car to automatically park from the key. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.
Smart keys are not completely secure. If someone in your vicinity can detect low-frequency transmissions between your smart key, and your car while you are away, such as at a restaurant or a petrol station, they could gain access to your car (or at the very least, attempt to).
The good news is most smart keys have a backup battery that will kick in if your main battery dies. Many smart key batteries can be quickly replaced and don't typically require specialized tools.
