Instead of sending out the same frequency signal like traditional key fobs, smart keys transmit various encrypted signals each time they unlock the door or remotely open the trunk. A computer in your car then recognizes these different frequencies and allows it to begin if the correct key matches the latest signal. A BMW smart key, for example, has a small LCD touchscreen in color that can perform the basic functions of a standard key fob (locking in, unlocking and keyless start) However, it also offers you the ability to store individual driver settings, turn off sunroofs or windows, and also command your car to auto park from within the key. Smart keys are distinguished by these features. Smart keys aren't completely secure. If someone close to you is able to hear the low frequency transmissions sent between your smart key and your vehicle and they gain access to your vehicle (or at least try to) by detecting the signals even if you're not from your vehicle like at restaurants or at a gas station. The positive side is that many smart keys have battery backups that be activated if the main battery dies. Additionally, many smart keys' batteries are simple to replace and don't require any special tools.
