Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't only a convenient feature. They also make it difficult for thieves to steal your vehicle. Instead of broadcasting the same frequency signal like traditional keys, smart keys emit different encrypted signals every time they unlock doors remotely or open the trunk. A computer in your car then recognizes these different frequencies and allows it to start if the appropriate key matches the new signal.

BMW smart keys, for example include a small LCD touchscreen that performs the similar functions of a standard key fob, including locking, unlocking, and keyless entry. But 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.

Despite this added layer of security, there are still ways for smart keys to be hacked. If someone near you receives low frequency signals transmitted between your smart keys and your vehicle and they gain access to your car (or at the very least attempt to) by picking up on these signals when you're away from your car for example, at the gas station or in a restaurant.

The good news is that a majority of smart keys have batteries that can be activated should the main battery fail. Additionally, many smart keys' batteries are simple to replace and don't require any specialized tools.
