Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) include an electronic chip in their heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle that is equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits an unintentional signal to a receiver that is located close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to send this signal it will trigger the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are designed to guard against theft of cars and that is why the majority of modern cars use them.

In World War II, coded messages were transmitted via radio frequencies in order to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same concept was later used to create car keys in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they've become commonplace on new cars and are also retrofitted into older models.

If your vehicle has this kind of security, it is recommended to always have an extra key in case of emergency, since the chip can only function effectively if it's scanned. But this isn't 100% secure, and some people have discovered methods to fool the transponder system. These include tutorials and kits that show how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity keys

Proximity keys are among the most recent keyless entry technology, and are becoming more popular in 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 purse or pocket. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers, and allows it to begin.

However proximity key systems have certain disadvantages. If the key fob is damaged or lost it isn't able to start the vehicle. A locksmith or the dealership will have to replace it, and this can be expensive. The fobs are also powered by batteries, meaning they'll have to be replaced every now and then.

The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of removing the cause-and-effect cycle we are familiar with when using physical keys. When using a traditional key, if you touch the lock and it opens, you'll know you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys you'll need to be within a certain distance of the vehicle to activate it.

Despite their downsides, proximity key technology is an excellent invention for drivers who do not want to be locked out of their car. If you own a proximity key, you should always keep a backup key in case of an emergency. If you need a new key, call your local Pop-A-Lock to learn about the cost of replacements and also to request a quotation for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

These systems are synchronized with back-end software, allowing landlords to keep track of both exit and entry. These systems are synced to back-end programs and allow landlords to track entry and exit. These systems also allow tenants in crisis to enter the property.

Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver reads the signal and unlocks or begins your car. It also can detect a driver's presence and adjust the car's settings according to their preferences. For instance, if the driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will recognize this and automatically close the doors.

Some keyless entry systems can be prone to attacks, even though they are very safe. A replay attack, for example is when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded, and then transmitted again at a later point. This can be prevented by adding an algorithm to the keyless entry system that ensures each transmission is unique from previous ones.

Another advantage of a keyless entry system is that it doesn't need to change locks after every tenant turnover. This is a cost-effective part of the process for converting units and it is logical for landlords to avoid this expense whenever feasible. Additionally, with a keyless entry system all that is needed is resetting the code, which is a lot faster and less costly than replacing the entire lock.
