Smart Keys Keys Smart keys aren't just a great convenience, they also make it hard for car thieves to take your car. Instead of sending out the same frequency signal as traditional key fobs, smart keys emit different encrypted signals each when they unlock a door or remotely open the trunk. A computer inside your vehicle then detects the changing frequencies and only allows it to start if the appropriate key is compatible with the new signal. BMW smart keys, for instance are equipped with a tiny LCD touchscreen that performs the similar functions of a standard key fob, including locking and unlocking as well as keyless entry. They also allow you to store your own driver settings, close windows or sunroofs, as well and tell your car how to park itself. These kinds of features make smart keys stand apart from their traditional counterparts. Despite this added layer of security, there are ways that smart keys could be compromised. If someone close to you picks up the low-frequency transmissions between your smart keys and your car, while you are away, for instance at a restaurant or a petrol station, they could gain access to your car (or at least attempt to). The good news is that most smart keys have backup batteries that be activated if the main battery dies. Many smart keys' batteries can be quickly replaced and don't typically require specialized tools.
