Transponder Keys

Contrary to the flat metal keys which are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip in their key heads. When the key is put into an automobile that uses transponder technology the chip transmits an unintentional message to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start, provided that it is programmed to it. Transponder chips were designed to deter car thieves which is why they are present in a majority of modern automobiles.

During World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, transponder keys are standard on most new cars and are also retrofitted into older models.

If you own a vehicle with this type of security system, you should always have an extra transponder card on hand, as it will only work in the event that the chip is scanned correctly. However, this isn't foolproof and some people have found ways to trick the transponder system. This includes tutorials and kits that show how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity Keys are one of the newest keyless entry technologies that are becoming popular in a variety of automobiles. The key fob is stored in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob then communicates with the car, disengaging the immobiliser while allowing the engine to begin.

However proximity key systems do have certain disadvantages. If the key fob gets damaged or lost, it can't be used to start your vehicle. A locksmith or a dealership will have to replace it, and this can be expensive. Batteries also provide power to the fobs. So they'll require replacing periodically.

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

Despite their disadvantages, proximity key technology is a great invention for drivers who aren't looking to be locked out of their vehicle. If you have a proximity key, you should always keep a backup key on hand in the event of an emergency. Contact your local Pop-A-Lock to get a quote for services and costs.
