Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (a portmanteau for transmitter and responder) include an electronic chip in their heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle that is equipped with transponder technology the chip sends a low-level signal to a receiver located close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so, it will cause the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are designed to guard against theft of cars which is why a majority of modern cars have them.
Transponder technology was first utilized during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether aircraft arriving were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, the majority of new vehicles are equipped with them, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to include the transponder chip.
If your car has this security feature, you should always have a spare key, as the chip will only work properly if it's been scanned. But this isn't 100% secure, and some people have discovered ways to evade the transponder system. These include tutorials and kits that explain how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.
Proximity keys
Proximity keys are one of the most recent keyless entry technologies, which are becoming more popular on a variety of vehicles. The key fob is carried in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, removing immobilisers and allowing it to start.
However proximity key systems come with some disadvantages. If the key fob is lost or damaged it isn't able to start the car. It's costly to find a locksmith or a dealership to replace it. The fobs are also powered by batteries, which means they'll need to be replaced every now and then.
The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of breaking the cause and effect cycle that we are all used to when using physical keys. With a traditional key, when you press 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 from the vehicle to activate it.
Despite these drawbacks the proximity keys are a great option for those who want to avoid locking themselves out of their cars. In the event of an emergency, make sure you have an emergency key with you if you own a proximity-key. If you require a new key, you can contact your local Pop-A-Lock to learn about the cost of replacements and to receive a price for services.
Keyless Entry Systems
The days of hiding keys outside of the home are long gone and landlords can now give tenants more security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are linked to back-end software that allows the landlord to monitor access and exit. These systems also make it easier for tenants in a crisis to enter the property.
A keyless entry system works by sending encrypted signals to a receiver inside the car. The receiver detects the signal and then unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect a driver's presence and adjust the vehicle settings according to their preferences. For instance, if the driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will detect this and automatically close the doors.
While the majority of keyless entry systems are secure, some of them are vulnerable to attacks. A replay attack, for example, is when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and then sent again at a later time. However, this could be prevented by incorporating into the keyless entry system a method that ensures each transmission differs from all previous ones.
Another advantage of a keyless entry system is that it does not require changing locks after every tenant turnover. This is a significant cost of the process of transferring units and it is sensible for landlords to avoid this expense as much as feasible. In addition, with a keyless entry system the only thing that is required is to reset the code, which is a lot faster and less expensive than replacing the entire lock.
