They also make it more difficult for car thieves take your car. Instead of broadcasting the same frequency similar to traditional key fobs smart keys emit different encrypted signals every when they unlock the door or remotely open the trunk. The computer in your car recognizes the changing frequencies, and will only let it start when the key that you want to use matches. A BMW smart key, for example is equipped with a tiny LCD touchscreen in color that performs the usual functions of a standard key fob (locking and unlocking, as well as keyless start) however, it also gives you the ability to store individual driver settings, switch off sunroofs and windows, and also command your car to self park by using the key. Smart keys are distinguished by these features. Smart keys aren't 100% secure. If someone in your vicinity receives the low frequency transmissions sent between your smart key and your car and they gain access to your car (or at the very least attempt to) by detecting the signals even if you're not from your car in restaurants or at a gas station. The good news is that the majority of smart keys have a backup battery that kicks in if your main battery goes out. Many smart key batteries can be easily replaced and don't require special tools.
