Transponder Keys

Contrary to the flat metal keys which work mechanically using cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys have an electronic microchip inside their key heads. When they are placed in a car that uses transponder technology, the chip sends a low-level signal to a receiver situated near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start provided that it is programmed to it. Transponder chips are designed to deter car thieves which is why they are used in most modern automobiles.

In World War II, coded messages were broadcast over radio frequencies to determine if an aircraft was hostile or friendly. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, all new cars come with keys that have transponder chips, and they are also popular for older models that are retrofitted to include them.

If you have a car equipped with this type of security system, you must always have a spare transponder key on hand, since it only works if the chip is scanned properly. This isn't 100% secure. There are some who have discovered ways to fool this system. There are kits and tutorials on how to bypass the transponder with electrical relays and wires.

Proximity Keys

Proximity Keys are among the latest keyless entry technology that is becoming popular in a variety of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their cars by simply 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 while allowing the engine to begin.

However proximity key systems have some drawbacks. If the key fob becomes damaged or lost, it will not be used to start your car. A locksmith or the dealership will have to replace it, which can be expensive. The fobs are also powered by batteries, and so they'll need to be periodically replaced.

The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of removing the cause-and-effect cycle that we are all familiar with when using physical keys. With a traditional key 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 car to activate it.

Despite their downsides proximity keys are a great invention for drivers who do not want to lock themselves out of their vehicle. In case of emergency, make sure you have an extra key in case you own a proximity key. If you require a new key, call your local Pop-A-Lock to learn about prices for replacements and to get a quote for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

These systems are synchronized with back-end software that allows landlords to monitor entry and exit. These systems are synchronized with back-end programs, allowing landlords to keep track of the entry and exit of tenants. These systems also help tenants in times of emergency to gain access to the property.

Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver then interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of a driver and adjust the car's settings according to their preferences. It will automatically shut the door, for instance, the driver has an item in his bag.

While the majority of keyless entry systems are secure, some of them are vulnerable to attacks. A replay attack, for instance is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and sent to a different location at a later time. However, this could be prevented by incorporating into the keyless entry system a method that ensures that every transmission is distinct from previous ones.

Another benefit of the keyless entry system is that it doesn't require changing locks after every tenant's move. 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. Additionally, with a keyless entry system the only thing that is required is resetting the key, which is much quicker and easier than replacing the entire lock.
