Transponder Keys

In contrast to flat metal keys that 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 they are inserted into a vehicle that uses transponder technology, the chip transmits a low-level signal to a receiver located near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to begin, provided that it is programmed to it. Transponder chips are made to protect cars from theft, which is why most modern vehicles use them.

Transponder technology was first used in World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine if the aircraft that was incoming was friendly or hostile. The same idea was later applied to keys for cars as well, with General Motors creating the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, the majority of new vehicles come equipped with keys that have transponder chips, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with the transponder chip.

If you own a vehicle equipped with this type of security system, you should always have a spare transponder key on hand, as it will only work only if the chip has been scanned properly. However, this isn't foolproof and some have found ways to trick the transponder system, such as kits and tutorials that explain how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are the newest keyless entry solutions, which are becoming popular in a variety of vehicles. The key fob can be carried in a pocket, or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers and allows it to begin.

However, proximity key systems have some drawbacks. If the fob of your key is damaged or lost, it is unable to be used to start your vehicle. It can be costly to find a locksmith or a dealership to replace it. The fobs are also powered by batteries, so they will need to be periodically replaced.

The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of breaking the cause-and effect cycle that we are all familiar with when using physical keys. If you're using a traditional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. You'll need to be within a specified distance to activate the proximity-sensing lock.

Despite these drawbacks they are a fantastic invention for drivers who want to avoid locking themselves out their cars. If you have a proximity key, it is recommended to always have a spare key on hand in case of emergency. Contact your local Pop A Lock store for a quote on services and costs.

Keyless Entry Systems

These systems are synchronized to back-end software, allowing landlords to keep track of entry and exit. These systems sync to back-end software and allow landlords to monitor entrance and exit. These systems also aid tenants in a emergency to gain access to the property.

A keyless entry system operates by transmitting encrypted signals an internal receiver within the car. The receiver then detects the signal and then unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to accommodate their preferences. For instance, if a driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will detect this and then automatically shut the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks even though they are very secure. A replay attack, for instance is when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded, and then transmitted again at a later date. This can be prevented by incorporating an algorithm into the keyless entry system, which ensures that every transmission is different from previous ones.

Another advantage of keyless entry systems is that it doesn't require changing the locks after each tenant's departure. This is a costly part of the unit turnover process and it is logical for landlords to reduce this expense as often as feasible. Moreover with a keyless access system the only thing that is required is resetting the code which is a lot faster and simpler than replacing the entire lock.
