Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to responder and transmitter) have an electronic chip within their heads. When the key is put into a vehicle that utilizes transponder tech the chip transmits an unintentional message to a receiver near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start provided that it is programmed to it. Transponder chips were designed to protect cars from theft This is the reason they are found in the majority of modern cars.

During World War II, coded messages were sent over radio frequencies in order to determine whether an aircraft was friendly or hostile. The same concept was later used to create car keys as well, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they've been standard on most new vehicles and are also retrofitted to older models.

If your car has this kind of security, then it is recommended to always have a spare key, as the chip will only work properly if it is scanned. But this isn't 100% secure and some people have discovered ways to fool the transponder system. This includes tutorials and kits that describe how to bypass it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity Keys are among the latest technology for keyless entry that is becoming popular in a variety of automobiles. The key fob is carried in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, removing immobilisers from the vehicle and allowing it to start.

There are a few disadvantages for proximity key systems however. If the key fob is damaged or lost it won't be able to start the vehicle. A locksmith or a dealership will need to replace it, which could be costly. Batteries also power the fobs, so they'll have to be replaced regularly.

The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of breaking the cause-and-effect cycle we are used to when using physical keys. With a traditional key when you press the lock and it opens, you'll know you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys, you'll have to be within a certain distance of the car to activate it.

Despite these limitations, proximity keys are a great innovation for those who wish to prevent locking themselves out of their vehicles. If you have a proximity key, you should always have a spare key in case of emergency. Contact your local Pop-Alock to inquire about services and costs.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding a spare key outside the home are over, and landlords can give tenants more security by installing the keyless entry system. These systems are connected to back-end programs and allow landlords to track entry and exit. Additionally these systems make it easier for tenants to get into the property in case of a crisis.

A keyless entry system operates by sending encrypted signals to the car's receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust the vehicle settings to suit their preferences. For instance, if the driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will be able to detect this and then automatically shut the doors.

Although most keyless entry systems are incredibly secure, some are vulnerable to attacks. A replay attack, for example is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and sent again at a later time. This can be avoided by using an algorithm in the keyless entry system that ensures each transmission is distinct from the previous ones.

A keyless entry system has the advantage that it doesn't require changing the locks each time a tenant is moved out. This is an expensive part of the process for converting units and it is logical for landlords to reduce this expense as often as feasible. Moreover with a keyless entry system, all that is required is resetting the key, which is faster and easier than replacing the entire lock.
