Smart keys aren't just cool convenience but also make it harder for car thieves to steal your car. Instead of transmitting the same frequency signal like traditional keys, smart keys send out various encrypted signals each time they unlock the door or remotely open the trunk. A computer in your car then recognizes the changing frequencies and only allows it to begin if the correct key matches the latest signal.

A BMW smart key, for instance it has a tiny LCD color touchscreen on it that performs the usual functions of a regular key fob (locking, unlocking and keyless start), but also gives the option to store personal driver settings, turn off sunroofs and windows, and even command your car to auto park from within the key. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.

If someone close to you receives the low-frequency transmissions sent between your smart key and your vehicle, they could gain access to your vehicle (or at the very least attempt to) by detecting these signals even when you're away from your car in a gas station or restaurant.

The good news is that most smart keys come with a backup battery that is activated if the primary battery fails. Furthermore, a lot of smart key batteries are easy to replace and typically do not require any special tools.
