Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau for responder and transmitter) have an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When inserted into a car that has transponder technology, the chip sends an unintentional signal to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start, in the event that it has been programmed for it. Transponder chips were designed to deter car thieves This is the reason they are found in the majority of modern vehicles.

Transponder technology was first introduced in World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine if the aircraft that was incoming was friendly or hostile. The same idea was later applied to car keys as well, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in the year 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they are present on all new vehicles and are also retrofitted into older models.

If your car has this security feature, it is recommended to always have a spare key on hand, as the chip will only work correctly if it is read. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some have discovered methods to fool the transponder system, such as tutorials and kits that explain how to bypass it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are the latest keyless entry technology, and are becoming popular on a number of vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their cars by simply touching the door handle with the key fob in their purse or pocket. The key fob then communicates with the car, disengaging the immobiliser while allowing the engine to begin.

There are a few disadvantages to proximity key systems however. If the fob of your key is damaged or lost, it can't be used to start your car. It's expensive to find a locksmith or a dealership to replace it. Batteries also provide power to the fobs, so they'll have to be replaced periodically.

The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of breaking the cause-and effect cycle we are familiar with when using physical keys. If you use a conventional key and the lock opens, you are aware that 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 they are a great innovation for those who wish to avoid locking themselves out of their vehicles. In case of emergencies, always keep a backup key handy if you own a proximity-key. If you need a new key, contact your local Pop-A-Lock to learn about prices for replacements and to receive a price for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

These systems are synchronized with back-end software, which allows landlords to monitor entry and exit. These systems are linked to a back-end program and permit landlords to keep track of entry and exit. These systems also allow tenants in times of crisis to get into the property.

Keyless entry works by transmitting encrypted signals a receiver inside the car. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of a driver and adjust vehicle settings to accommodate their preferences. For instance, if the driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will be able to detect this and then automatically shut the doors.

While the majority of keyless entry systems are extremely secure, some are susceptible to attacks. For instance, a replay attack is when the original remote control signal is recorded, and then sent again to the device at a later date. This can be avoided by adding an algorithm to the keyless entry system that ensures every transmission is distinct from previous ones.

Another advantage of keyless entry systems is that it does not require the replacement of locks following each tenant's turnover. It's costly to change locks for every tenant turnover and therefore it is sensible that landlords stay away from this cost as much as they can. With a keyless system all you need to do is reset the code. This is much faster and simpler than changing the lock.
