Smart keys do not broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they send out various encrypted messages every when they open doors or remotely unlock the trunk. The car's computer recognizes the changing frequencies, and will only allow it to begin only when the correct key matches. A BMW smart key, for instance, has a small LCD color touchscreen on it that performs the standard functions of a typical key fob (locking, unlocking and keyless start) however, it also gives the option to store personal driver settings, turn off sunroofs and windows, and also command your car to automatically park from the key. Smart keys are distinguished by these features. Smart keys aren't 100% secure. If someone else detects the low-frequency transmissions between your smart key, and your car while you are away, like at a restaurant or gas station, they can gain access to your car (or at least attempt to). The good news is most smart keys have a battery backup that is activated if the main battery fails. Additionally, many smart keys' batteries are easy to replace and usually don't require any tools.
