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 are equipped with an electronic microchip within their key heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle that has transponder technology, the chip sends a low-level signal to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so it will cause the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are made to stop theft of cars which is why a majority of modern vehicles have them.

Transponder technology was first introduced during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine if aircraft incoming were friendly or hostile. The same concept was later used to create car keys in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they've been commonplace on new cars and are also retrofitted into older models.

If you have a car equipped with this type of security system, you should always have an extra transponder key in your car, as it will only work when the chip is read properly. However, this isn't completely foolproof, and some people have discovered ways to fool the transponder system, such as tutorials and kits that explain how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity Keys are the newest keyless entry innovations that are 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 connects to the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers, and allows it to start.

However proximity key systems come with certain disadvantages. If the key fob becomes damaged or lost, it will not be used to start your car. A locksmith or dealership will need to replace it, which can be expensive. Batteries also provide power to the fobs, so they'll require replacing regularly.

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

Despite their limitations however, proximity keys are an amazing invention for those who aren't looking to be locked out of their car. In case of emergency, always have an emergency key with you if you own a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop A Lock store for a quote on the services and prices.

Keyless Entry Systems

These systems are synchronized with back-end software, which allows landlords to keep track of both exit and entry. These systems are synced with back-end software, which allows landlords to track the entry and exit of tenants. Furthermore these systems make it easier for tenants to gain access to the property in case of a crisis.

A keyless entry system transmits encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It can also recognize a driver's presence and adjust the vehicle settings in accordance with their preferences. It will automatically close the door if, for example the driver has bags in his hands.

While the majority of keyless entry systems are incredibly secure, some of them are vulnerable to attacks. A replay attack, for instance is when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and transmitted again at a later date. However, this can be thwarted by including in the keyless entry system a method that ensures each transmission differs from the previous ones.

Keyless entry also offers the benefit that it doesn't require you to change locks each time a tenant is moved out. This is a cost-effective part of the process for converting units, and it makes sense for landlords to reduce this expense as often as feasible. If you have a keyless system, all you have to do is reset the code. This is much quicker and less costly than replacing the lock.
