Transponder Chips

The computer in your car detects the fluctuating frequencies, and will only let it start when the key that you want to use matches.

A BMW smart key, for instance features a small LCD touchscreen that performs the usual functions of a standard key fob (locking and unlocking, as well as keyless start) However, it also offers the option to store personal driver settings, turn off sunroofs or windows, and even command your car to self-park inside the key.

If someone in your vicinity picks up the low-frequency transmissions between your smart key and your car while you are away, for example in a restaurant or a gas station, they could gain access to your car (or at least attempt to).

The good thing is that many smart keys have a battery backup that kicks in if your main battery dies. Many smart keys' batteries can be easily replaced and do not require special tools.
