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 embedded in their key heads. When the key is inserted into an automobile that uses transponder technology it sends an unintentional message to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to prevent car theft and that is why the majority of modern cars use them.

Transponder technology was first utilized during World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether aircraft incoming were friendly or hostile. The same concept was later applied to keys for cars, with General Motors creating the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, transponder keys are standard on most new vehicles, and can also be retrofitted into older models.

If you have a car equipped with this type of security system, make sure you always keep an extra transponder key on hand, since it only works in the event that the chip is scanned correctly. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some people have found ways to trick the transponder system. This includes kits and tutorials that explain how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity keys

Proximity Keys are the newest technology for keyless entry that is becoming popular in a variety vehicles. The key fob can be stored in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob will then communicate with the car, disengaging the immobiliser while allowing the engine to begin.

However, proximity key systems have some drawbacks. If the key fob is damaged or lost the fob isn't usable to start the car. A locksmith or a dealership will have to replace it, and this can be expensive. 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 using physical keys. In the case of a traditional lock, it's when you press the lock and it 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 their downsides, proximity key technology is an excellent invention for drivers who don't want to be locked out of their car. If you own a proximity key, you should always have a spare key in case of emergency. Contact your local Pop-A Lock for a quote on services and prices.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding keys that are not in the home are long gone and landlords can now give tenants more security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems are linked to a back-end program and permit landlords to monitor entrance and exit. Furthermore, these systems make it easier for tenants to access the property in the event in the event of a crisis.

Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver detects the signal and then unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of a driver and adjust vehicle settings to accommodate their needs. For example, if a driver is carrying a bag in their hands, the system will recognize this and automatically close the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems could be prone to attacks, even though they are very safe. For example, a replay attack is where the original remote control signal is recorded, and then sent again to the device at a later date. This can be prevented by using an algorithm in the keyless entry system to ensure that each transmission is unique from the previous ones.

Another benefit of a keyless entry system is that it doesn't require the replacement of locks following each tenant's turnover. It's expensive to replace locks for every tenant turnover, so it makes sense that landlords avoid this expense as much as possible. Additionally with a keyless entry system all that is required is resetting the key, which is a lot faster and less costly than replacing the entire lock.
