Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't only a convenient feature. They also make it more difficult for thieves to get into your car. Smart keys don't broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they send out various encrypted messages each when they open doors or remotely unlock the trunk. A computer in your car is able to detect the frequency shifts and only allows it to start if the correct key is in line with the new signal.

BMW smart keys, for instance are equipped with a tiny LCD touchscreen that can perform the same functions as a standard key fob, including locking or unlocking and keyless entry. They also allow you to save your personal driver settings, close windows or sunroofs as well and instruct your car to park itself. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.

Smart keys aren't 100% secure. If someone close to you receives the low frequency transmissions sent between your smart key and your vehicle, they could gain access to your vehicle (or at least try to) by picking up on these signals when you're away from your car, such as at the gas station or in a restaurant.

The good news is most smart keys have a battery backup that kicks in if your main battery dies. Many smart key batteries are easily replaced and don't require specialized tools.
