Transponder Keys

In contrast to flat metal keys that operate mechanically by cutting the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip within their key heads. When they are placed in a car that is equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits an low-level signal to the receiver situated near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start, when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to prevent car theft, which is why most modern cars have them.

In World War II, coded messages were sent over radio frequencies to determine if an aircraft was friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, the majority of new cars are equipped with them, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with them.

If your car is equipped with this kind of security, it is recommended to always have a spare key on hand, as the chip can only function properly if it is scanned. It isn't foolproof. Some people have found ways to fool this system. They come with kits and tutorials that explain how to disable the transponder with electrical relays and wires.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are the most recent keyless entry technology that is becoming popular in a variety of automobiles. They permit drivers to unlock their cars by simply touching the door handle using the key fob they carry in their purse or pocket. The key fob then connects to the car, removing the immobiliser, allowing the engine to begin.

There are some downsides with proximity key systems though. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it can't be used to start the car. It can be costly to find a locksmith or a dealership to replace it. The fobs are also powered by batteries, which means they will need to be replaced regularly.

The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of removing the cause-and-effect cycle that we are all used to when using physical keys. With a traditional key it's when you press the lock and it opens, you know you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys you'll have to be within a certain distance from the car to activate it.

Despite their drawbacks proximity keys are a great invention for drivers who do not want to be locked out of their car. If you own a proximity key, it is recommended to always keep a backup key in case of emergency. If you require a new key, you can contact your local Pop-A-Lock store to inquire about replacement costs and also to request a quotation for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding keys that are not in the home are over, and landlords can provide tenants with greater security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are synced with back-end software, allowing landlords to monitor the process of entry and exit. Furthermore, these systems make it simpler for tenants to gain access to the property in case of a crisis.

Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal, unlocks or begins your car. It also can detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to accommodate their preferences. It will automatically shut the door if, for example, the driver has an item in his hand.

While the majority of keyless entry systems are extremely safe, some are vulnerable to attack. For instance, a replay attack is where the original remote control signal is recorded, and then repeated to the device at a later point. However, this can be thwarted by including in the keyless entry system an algorithm that ensures that every transmission is distinct from all previous ones.

Another benefit of keyless entry systems is that it doesn't need to change locks after each tenant's departure. This is a cost-effective part of the unit turnover process and it is sensible for landlords to avoid this expense as much as feasible. In addition with a keyless entry system, all that is required is resetting the key, which is much quicker and less expensive than replacing the entire lock.
