When the key is turned on, the chip sends a code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle.

Smart Keys Keys Smart keys aren't just a convenient feature. They also make it harder for thieves to take your car. Smart keys do not broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead, they send out different encrypted messages every time they open doors or remotely unlock the trunk. The car's computer recognizes the changing frequencies, and will only allow it to start when the key that you want to use matches. A BMW smart key, for instance is equipped with a tiny LCD touchscreen that performs the usual functions of a regular key fob (locking in, unlocking and keyless start), but also gives the option to store individual driver settings, switch off sunroofs or windows, and even command your car to self park from the key. These kinds of features help to set smart keys apart from traditional keys. Despite this added layer of security, there are still ways that smart keys can be hacked. If someone near you receives low-frequency signals between your smart keys and your car, while you are away, such as at a restaurant or a petrol station, they can gain access to your car (or at least attempt to). The good thing is that many smart keys come with a backup battery that kicks in if your main battery fails. Additionally, many smart key batteries are easy to replace and don't require any specialized tools.
