Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau for responder and transmitter) contain an electronic chip inside their heads. When the key is inserted into an automobile equipped with transponder tech the chip transmits an unintentional message to a receiver near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start provided that it is programmed to it. Transponder chips are made to stop theft of cars which is why a majority of modern vehicles have them.

In World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies in order to determine if an aircraft was friendly or hostile. The same idea was later applied to car keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in the year 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they've been present on all new vehicles and are also retrofitted to older models.

If your car has this kind of security, then it is recommended to always have an extra key in case of emergency, since the chip can only function correctly if it is read. This is not 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 the latest keyless entry innovations, which are becoming popular on a variety vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their car by merely touching the door handle using the key fob that is in their pocket or bag. The key fob will then communicate with the car, removing the immobiliser and allowing for the engine to begin.

However proximity key systems come with certain disadvantages. If the key fob is lost or damaged the fob isn't usable to start the car. It could be expensive to have a locksmith or dealership replace it. Batteries also provide power to the fobs. So they'll require replacing regularly.

The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of removing the cause-and-effect cycle we are used to when using physical keys. When you insert a traditional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. You'll need to be within a specific distance to activate the proximity-sensing key.

Despite their drawbacks the proximity key technology is a great invention for drivers who do not want to be locked out of their vehicle. In the event of an emergency, always have an extra key in case you own a proximity key. Contact your local Pop-Alock to get a quote for services and prices.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding keys in the home are long gone and landlords can give tenants more security by installing the keyless entry system. These systems are linked to back-end software that allows landlords to monitor entry and exit. In addition these systems make it easier for tenants to gain access to the property in the event of a crisis.

A keyless entry system works by transmitting encrypted signals to a receiver inside the car. The receiver then responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust settings to accommodate their preferences. For example, if a driver is carrying a bag in their hands, the system will recognize this and then automatically shut the doors.

Although most keyless entry systems are secure, some are susceptible to attacks. For instance replay attacks occur when the initial remote control signal is recorded, and then transmitted to the device at a later date. However, this can be stopped by adding to the keyless entry system an algorithm which ensures that each transmission is different from all previous ones.

Keyless entry systems also offers the advantage of being a keyless entry system that doesn't require you to change locks every when a tenant leaves. It is expensive to change locks for every tenant turnover and it is therefore sensible that landlords avoid this expense as much as they can. In addition with a keyless access system the only thing that is required is to reset the code, which is faster and less expensive than replacing the entire lock.
