Smart Keys Smart keys aren't just a cool convenience they also make it difficult for car thieves to steal your car. Smart keys don't transmit the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they transmit different encrypted messages every time they open the door or remotely unlock the trunk. The car's computer recognizes the different frequencies, and will only allow the car to start when the key that you want to use matches. A BMW smart key, for example features a small LCD touchscreen that performs the usual functions of a regular key fob (locking or unlocking and keyless start) It also gives you the capability to save individual driver settings, turn off sunroofs or windows, and even instruct your car to self-park from the key. Smart keys are distinguished by these features. Despite this additional layer of security, there are ways that smart keys can be hacked. If someone near you receives low-frequency signals between your smart key and your car, while you are away, such as at a restaurant or a petrol station, they can gain access to your car (or at the very least, attempt to). The positive side is that many smart keys have batteries that can begin to function if the main battery dies. Additionally, many smart key batteries are easy to replace and usually don't require any tools.
