Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau for transmitter and responder) contain an electronic chip within their heads. When the key is put into a vehicle equipped with transponder technology it sends an insignificant message to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this it will trigger the engine to switch on. Transponder chips were designed to deter car thieves and that is why they are found in the majority of modern cars.

In World War II, coded messages were broadcast over radio frequencies in order to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same idea was later applied to keys for cars and keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they've been standard on most new vehicles, and can also be retrofitted to older models.

If your car is equipped with this kind of security, then you must always have an extra key, as the chip will only work effectively if it's scanned. But this isn't 100% secure and some have discovered methods to fool the transponder system, including tutorials and kits that show how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are one of the most recent keyless entry solutions, which are gaining popularity in a variety of vehicles. The key fob is put in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob connects to the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers, and allows it to start.

However, proximity key systems have some drawbacks. If the fob of your key is damaged or lost, it can't be used to start your car. A locksmith or the dealership will need to replace it, and this can be expensive. Batteries also power the fobs, which means they'll require replacing regularly.

Another disadvantage of proximity key technology is that it disrupts the cause/effect cycle we're all familiar with 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 of the car to activate it.

Despite their drawbacks proximity keys are an excellent invention for drivers who aren't looking to lock themselves out of their vehicle. If you have a proximity key, it is recommended to always keep a backup key in the event of an emergency. If you require a new key, you can contact your local Pop-A-Lock to learn about the cost of replacements and to request a quote for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding keys that are not in the home are over and landlords can now provide tenants with better security by installing the keyless entry system. These systems are synchronized with back-end software that allows landlords to monitor the process of entry and exit. These systems also help tenants who are in crisis to get into the property.

A keyless entry system operates by transmitting encrypted signals an internal receiver within the car. The receiver detects the signal and then unlocks or starts the engine. It can also recognize the presence of a driver and adjust the car's settings according to their preferences. It will automatically close the door, for instance the driver has an item in his hand.

Certain keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks even though they are generally very secure. A replay attack, for instance is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded, and then transmitted to a different location at a later time. This can be avoided by adding an algorithm to the keyless entry system that ensures each transmission is unique from the previous one.

Keyless entry systems also offers the benefit of not having to does not require you to change the locks every time a tenant is moved out. It is expensive to change locks after every tenant turnover and therefore it is sensible that landlords avoid this expense as much as they can. In addition when using a keyless entry system, all that is required is resetting the code, which is faster and easier than replacing the entire lock.
