Instead of broadcasting the same frequency like traditional keys, smart keys transmit various encrypted signals each when they unlock the door or remotely open the trunk. The computer in your car recognizes the different frequencies, and will only allow it to begin when the key that you want to use matches. A BMW smart key, for example is equipped with a tiny LCD color touchscreen on it that performs the usual functions of a normal key fob (locking or unlocking and keyless start) It also gives you the capability to save individual driver settings, turn off sunroofs and windows, and even instruct your car to self park by using the key. Smart keys are distinguished by these features. Smart keys aren't entirely secure. If someone who is close to you receives the low-frequency transmissions sent between your smart device and your vehicle, they could gain access to your vehicle (or at the very least attempt to) by spotting the signals even if you're not from your car like at an eatery or gas station. The good news is that most smart keys come with a backup battery which kicks in when your main battery dies. Many smart key batteries are easily replaced and don't usually require special tools.
