Transponder Keys

In contrast to flat metal keys that operate mechanically by cutting the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip in their key heads. When inserted into a car that is equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits an low-level signal to the receiver that is located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to transmit this signal it will trigger the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are made to prevent car theft This is the reason that most modern vehicles have them.

In World War II, coded messages were sent over radio frequencies in order to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, most new vehicles are equipped with them, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to incorporate them.

If you own a vehicle that has this type of security system, you should always have a spare transponder key on hand, as it will only work if the chip is scanned properly. But this isn't 100% secure and some people have discovered ways to fool the transponder system, such as tutorials and kits that explain how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are the most recent keyless entry technologies that are becoming popular across a variety of vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their cars by touching the door handle with the key fob in their bag or pocket. The key fob then communicates with the car, disengaging the immobiliser, allowing the engine to start.

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

Another drawback of proximity key technology is that it disrupts the cause-and-effect cycle that we're familiar with using physical keys. In the case of a traditional lock, if you touch the lock and it opens, you know that you have the key. You'll have to be within a certain distance to activate the proximity-sensing key.

Despite these limitations proximity keys are a fantastic option for drivers who want prevent locking themselves out of their vehicles. If you own a proximity key, you should always keep a backup key on hand in case of emergency. Contact your local Pop-A Lock for a quote on services and costs.

Keyless Entry Systems

These systems are linked to back-end programs, allowing landlords to monitor access and exit. These systems also help tenants in times of situation of crisis to access the property.

A keyless entry system sends encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It can also recognize a driver's presence and adjust the car's settings in accordance with their preferences. It will automatically close the door, for instance, the driver has a bag in his hands.

Certain keyless entry systems could be vulnerable to attacks, even though they're generally extremely secure. A replay attack, for instance, is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and then sent again at a later time. This can be prevented by adding an algorithm to the keyless entry system to ensure that every transmission is different from the previous ones.

Another advantage of the keyless entry system is that it doesn't need to change locks after every tenant turnover. It can be costly to replace locks after every tenant turnover and it is therefore sensible that landlords try to avoid this expense as much as is possible.
