Smart keys aren't only a practical convenience. They also make it difficult for car thieves steal your vehicle. Smart keys do not broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs.

The car's computer detects the fluctuating frequencies, and will only allow the car to start when the correct key matches.

A BMW smart key, for instance it has a tiny LCD touchscreen in color that performs the usual functions of a typical key fob (locking in, unlocking and keyless start) It also gives you the ability to store individual driver settings, switch off sunroofs and windows, and even command your car to self park inside the key. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.

The good news is most smart keys have a backup battery which kicks in when your primary battery fails. Many smart keys' batteries can be easily replaced and don't usually require specialized tools.
