Transponder Keys
Contrary to the flat metal keys which operate mechanically with cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys have an electronic microchip in their key heads. When the key is put into an automobile that uses transponder tech the chip transmits an unintentional message to a receiver near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to begin, in the event that it has been programmed for it. Transponder chips are made 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 coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether 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, all new cars come with keys that have transponder chips, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to include them.
If you own a vehicle equipped with this kind of security system, make sure you always have an extra transponder card at hand, as it will only work when the chip is read correctly. It isn't foolproof. There are some who have discovered ways to fool the system. They include kits and tutorials on how to bypass the transponder using wires and electrical relays.
Proximity Keys
Proximity keys are the most recent technology for keyless entry that is becoming popular in a variety vehicles. The key fob can be put in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob connects to the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers, and allowing it to start.
However proximity key systems come with certain disadvantages. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it cannot be used to start your vehicle. 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 have to be replaced regularly.
The proximity smart key skoda technology also has the disadvantage of removing the cause-and-effect cycle that we are all familiar with when using physical keys. With a traditional key when you touch the lock and it opens, you'll know that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys you'll need to be within a certain distance of the car to activate it.
Despite their disadvantages however, proximity keys are an amazing invention for those who aren't looking to lock themselves out of their vehicle. If you own a proximity key, it is recommended to always have a spare key on hand in case of an emergency. If you need a new key, contact the local Pop-A Lock to inquire about prices for replacements and also to request a quotation for services.
Keyless Entry Systems
The days of hiding keys in the home are over and landlords can now give tenants more security by installing the keyless entry system. These systems are linked to back-end software and allow landlords to monitor entrance and exit. These systems also aid tenants in a crisis to enter the property.
Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver detects the signal and then unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect a driver's presence and adjust the vehicle settings according to their preferences. For instance, if a driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will detect this and then automatically shut the doors.
Some keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks, even though they are generally very safe. For example, a replay attack is when the initial remote control signal is recorded and transmitted to the device at a later time. However, this can be prevented by including in the keyless entry system a method which ensures that each transmission is different from the previous ones.
Another advantage of a keyless entry system is that it doesn't require the replacement of locks following each tenant's turnover. This is a significant cost of the unit turnover process, and it makes sense for landlords to reduce this expense as often as possible. In addition with a keyless entry system, all that is required is resetting the key, which is faster and less expensive than replacing the entire lock.
