Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to transmitter and responder) are equipped with an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When the key is inserted into a vehicle equipped with transponder technology, the chip sends out an informational low-level message to the receiver near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this, it will cause the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are designed to deter car thieves which is why they are present in a majority of modern cars.

In World War II, coded messages were transmitted via radio frequencies in order to determine if an aircraft was friendly or hostile. The same concept was later applied to car keys as well, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, most new vehicles are equipped with them, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to include them.

If you have a car equipped with this kind of security system, you must always keep a spare transponder key in your car, as it will only work if the chip is scanned properly. It isn't foolproof. Some people have found ways to fool this system. There are kits and tutorials on how to bypass the transponder with wires and electrical relays.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are among the most recent keyless entry innovations, which are gaining popularity on a variety of vehicles. The key fob can be stored in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob then connects to the car, disengaging the immobiliser and allowing the engine to start.

There are a few disadvantages with proximity key systems though. If the key fob becomes damaged or lost, it is unable to be used to start your car. It's expensive to hire a locksmith or dealer to replace it. Batteries also power the fobs, which means they'll have to be replaced periodically.

The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of removing the cause-and-effect cycle that we are 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 vehicle to activate it.

Despite these downsides proximity keys are a fantastic invention for those who want to keep themselves from locking out of their cars. If you have a proximity key, make sure you always keep a backup in the event of an emergency. Contact your local Pop A Lock store for a quote on the services and costs.

Keyless Entry Systems

These systems are synchronized to back-end software, which allows landlords to keep track of the process of entry and exit. These systems are linked to back-end software and allow landlords to monitor entrance and exit. Furthermore these systems make it simpler for tenants to enter the property in the event in the event of a crisis.

A keyless entry system transmits encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and opens or starts the engine. It can also detect a driver's presence and adjust the vehicle settings in accordance with their preferences. For example, if the driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will be able to detect this and then automatically shut the doors.

Some keyless entry systems can be prone to attacks, even though they're generally extremely secure. For instance, a replay attack is when the original remote control signal is recorded, and then transmitted to the device at a later time. However, this can be thwarted by including in the keyless entry system an algorithm that ensures that every transmission is distinct from all previous ones.

Another benefit of a keyless entry system is that it does not need to change locks after every tenant's move. This is a costly part of the unit turnover process and it is logical for landlords to reduce this expense as often as possible. With a keyless lock, all you need to do is reset the code. This is much quicker and simpler than replacing the lock.
