Transponder Chips
Transponder chips are tiny circuits within your key that communicate with your car's immobilizer. When you turn the key on the chip sends an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If the ID code matches the one stored in the BCM memory, the immobilizer will be disabled and the engine will begin. If the ID code isn't compatible, the security light will appear and the car won't start.

Smart Keys
Smart keys aren't just a cool convenience but also make it hard for car thieves to steal your vehicle. Smart keys don't transmit the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they send different encrypted messages each time they open the door or remotely unlock the trunk. A computer inside your vehicle then detects these different frequencies and allows it to start if the right key is compatible with the new signal.
A BMW smart key, for example is equipped with a tiny LCD color touchscreen on it that performs the standard functions of a regular key fob (locking or unlocking and keyless start) It also gives the option to store individual driver settings, switch off windows or sunroofs, and also command your car to automatically park from the key. These types of features make smart keys stand apart from their conventional counterparts.
Despite this additional layer of security, there are still ways for smart keys to be compromised. If someone near you picks up the low-frequency transmissions between your smart key, and your car, while you are away, for instance at a restaurant or gas station, they can gain access to your car (or at least attempt to).
The positive side is that many smart keys have battery backups that begin to function should the main battery fail. fiat panda key can be easily replaced and do not require specialized tools.
