They also make it harder for thieves to take your car. Smart keys do not transmit the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead, they send out different encrypted messages each time they open the door or remotely unlock the trunk. A computer in your vehicle then detects the changing frequencies and only allows it to start if the right key matches the new signal. BMW smart keys, for example include a small LCD touchscreen that can perform the similar functions of a standard key fob, such as locking and unlocking as well as keyless entry. They also allow you to save your personal driver settings, shut down windows or sunroofs as well and tell your car how to park itself. Smart keys are distinguished by these features. Despite this added layer of security, there are still ways that smart keys could be hacked. If someone close to you detects the low-frequency transmissions between your smart keys and your vehicle, even when you are away, like 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 a backup battery which kicks in when your main battery fails. Additionally, many smart key batteries are easy to replace and generally don't require any special tools.
