Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to transmitter and responder) include an electronic chip within their heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle that has transponder technology, the chip sends low-level signals to a receiver located close to the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start in the event that it has been programmed for it. Transponder chips were designed to protect cars from theft and that is why they are present in a majority of modern vehicles.

During World War II, coded messages were broadcast over radio frequencies to determine if an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same idea was later applied to car keys and keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, the majority of new cars come with them, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to incorporate the transponder chip.

If your car has this kind of security, you should always carry an extra key, as the chip will only work effectively if it's scanned. It isn't foolproof. There are some who have discovered ways to trick the system. These kits include tutorials on how to bypass the transponder with wires and electrical relays.

Proximity keys

Proximity Keys are the newest keyless entry technology that is becoming popular in a variety of automobiles. They permit drivers to unlock their car by merely touching the door handle with the key fob they carry in their purse or pocket. The key fob then connects to the car, disengaging the immobiliser and allowing for the engine to begin.

There are a few drawbacks with proximity key systems though. If the key fob gets damaged or lost, it is unable to be used to start your vehicle. A locksmith or the dealership will need to replace it, and this could be costly. Batteries also power the fobs, so they'll require replacing often.

Another drawback of proximity key technology is that it breaks the cause/effect process we're familiar with when it comes to physical keys. With a traditional key, if you touch the lock and it 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 limitations however, proximity keys are an amazing tool for drivers who don't want to lock themselves out of their vehicle. If you own a proximity key, make sure you always have a spare key in the event of an emergency. If you require a replacement key, contact your local Pop-A-Lock store to inquire about prices for replacements and also to request a quotation for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing a spare key outside the home are over, and landlords can provide tenants with better security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems are linked to a back-end program and permit the landlord to monitor entry and exit. These systems also help tenants in a crisis to get into the property.

Keyless entry systems work by transmitting encrypted signals to the car's receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of a driver and adjust vehicle settings to accommodate their needs. It will shut the door in the event that, for instance, the driver has bags in his hands.

Certain keyless entry systems can be prone to attacks, even though they are very safe. For example a replay attack occurs where the original remote control signal is recorded, and then sent back to the device at a later time. However, this can be stopped by adding to the keyless entry system an algorithm that ensures each transmission differs from previous ones.

Another advantage of keyless entry systems is that it doesn't need to change locks after each tenant's departure. It's costly to change locks following every turnover of a tenant, so it makes sense that landlords stay away from this cost as much as they can. With a keyless lock, all you have to do is reset the code. This is a lot faster and simpler than changing the lock.
