Transponder Chips Transponder chips are tiny circuits that are integrated into your key to communicate with the immobilizer. When you turn the key in the ignition, the chip transmits an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If the ID code matches that in the BCM's memory, then the immobilizer is disabled and the engine will start. If the ID code doesn't match, the security light will light up and your car won't be allowed to start. Transponders aren't perfect, however, as car thieves have developed over time to find ways to bypass security systems to prevent theft.

Instead of sending out the same frequency signal like traditional key fobs, smart keys send out different encrypted signals every when they unlock doors remotely or open the trunk. The car's computer recognizes the changes in frequency and will only allow it to start when the key that you want to use matches. BMW smart keys, for example include a small LCD touchscreen that performs the same functions as a traditional key fob, like locking or unlocking and keyless entry. However, they also allow you to store your own driver settings, close windows or sunroofs as well and tell your car how to park itself. These kinds of features are what makes smart keys stand apart from their conventional counterparts. Smart keys aren't entirely secure. If someone close to you picks up the low-frequency transmissions between your smart keys and your car, while you are away, such as at a gas or restaurant station, they could gain access to your car (or at least attempt to). The positive side is that many smart keys have battery backups that kick in when the main battery fails. Additionally, fiat doblo key are easy to replace and typically don't require any special tools.
