Transponder Keys

Contrary to the flat metal keys which operate mechanically by cutting the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys have an electronic microchip within their key heads. When the key is inserted into a vehicle that utilizes transponder technology the chip transmits an informational low-level message to the receiver near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to transmit this signal it will cause the engine to start. Transponder chips were developed to protect cars from theft, which is why they are used in most modern cars.

During World War II, coded messages were transmitted via radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, they've been used on the majority of new vehicles and are also retrofitted to older models.

If you have a car equipped with this kind of security system, make sure you always keep an extra transponder keys at hand, as it will only work if the chip is scanned properly. However, this isn't foolproof and some people have discovered ways to evade the transponder system, including kits and tutorials that explain how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity Keys are among the latest keyless entry innovations that are becoming popular in a variety vehicles. The key fob is carried in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob will then communicate with the car, removing the immobiliser and allowing the engine to start.

There are a few drawbacks for proximity key systems though. If the key fob becomes damaged or lost, it will not be used to start your car. It could be expensive to get a locksmith replace it. The fobs are also powered by batteries, which means they will need to be replaced from time to time.

The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of breaking the cause and effect cycle that we are all familiar with when using physical keys. If you're using a traditional key and the lock opens, you are aware that you have the key. You'll have to be within a specified distance to activate proximity-sensing key.

Despite these downsides proximity keys are a great innovation for drivers who want to prevent locking themselves out of their cars. In the event of an emergency, always have an extra key in case you own a proximity key. If you require a replacement key, contact your local Pop-A-Lock store to inquire about replacement costs and also to request a quotation for services.

A keyless entry system sends encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust the vehicle settings to suit their preferences.

Some keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks, even though they are very secure. For example a replay attack occurs when the original remote control signal is recorded, and then repeated to the device at a later time. This can be avoided by using an algorithm in the keyless entry system that makes sure that every transmission is distinct from previous ones.

Another benefit of a keyless entry system is that it does not require the replacement of locks following each tenant's departure. It can be costly to replace locks for every tenant turnover which is why it is recommended that landlords try to avoid this expense as much as is possible.
