Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to transmitter and responder) include an electronic chip in their heads. When they are placed in a car that has transponder technology, the chip sends a low-level signal to a receiver situated close to the ignition switch. This causes the engine to begin, when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to protect cars from theft This is the reason they are found in the majority of modern vehicles.

Transponder technology was first used in World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether aircraft incoming were friendly or hostile. The same concept was later applied to car keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, the majority of new vehicles are equipped with these keys, and they're also popular for older models that are retrofitted to include the transponder chip.

If your car is equipped with this security feature, you should always carry a spare key, as the chip can only function properly if it is scanned. However, this isn't foolproof, and some people have discovered ways to evade the transponder system, including kits and tutorials that explain how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity keys

Proximity keys are one of the most recent keyless entry solutions, which are becoming popular on a variety of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their car by merely touching the door handle using the key fob they carry in their pocket or bag. The key fob then connects to the car, removing the immobiliser and allowing the engine to begin.

However, proximity key systems have some disadvantages. If the key fob is lost or damaged, it can't be used to start the car. A locksmith or a dealership will have to replace it, and this could be costly. The fobs are also powered by batteries, and so they will need to be replaced every now and then.

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 using a traditional key, when you touch the lock and it 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 these downsides the proximity keys are a fantastic option for drivers who want to avoid locking themselves out of their cars. If you own a proximity key, you should always have a backup key on hand in case of emergency. Contact your local Pop A Lock store for a quote on services and prices.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys that are not in the home are long gone and landlords can now give tenants more security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are synced to back-end software and allow the landlord to monitor entry and exit. These systems also help tenants who are in emergency to gain access to the property.

A keyless entry system 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 example, if the driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will detect this and close the doors.

While the majority of keyless entry systems are extremely secure, some of them are vulnerable to attack. A replay attack, for example, is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and then sent again at a later point. However, this can be prevented by including in the keyless entry system an algorithm that ensures each transmission differs from previous ones.

Keyless entry also offers the advantage of being a keyless entry system that doesn't require you to change the locks each when a tenant moves out. This is an expensive part of the process of transferring units and it is logical for landlords to avoid this expense whenever feasible. Additionally when using a keyless entry system all that is needed is to reset the code, which is a lot faster and easier than replacing the entire lock.
