Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) have an electronic chip within their heads. When inserted into a car that uses transponder technology, the chip sends a low-level signal to a receiver located close to the ignition switch. This causes the engine to begin, in the event that it has been programmed for it. Transponder chips are made to protect cars from theft This is the reason that most modern cars have them.
In World War II, coded messages were sent over radio frequencies in order to determine whether an aircraft was friendly or hostile. The same concept was later applied to car keys as well, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in the year 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, a majority of new vehicles are equipped with them, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with them.
If your car is equipped with this kind of security, then you should always have a spare key on hand, as the chip can only function properly if it's been scanned. This isn't 100% secure. There are some who have discovered ways to trick this system. They come with kits and tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder by using wires and electrical relays.
Proximity Keys
Proximity keys are the newest keyless entry innovations, which are gaining popularity on a number of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their cars by touching the door handle using the key fob that is in their purse or pocket. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, removing immobilisers and allows it to begin.
However proximity key systems do have certain disadvantages. If the key fob is damaged or lost it isn't able to start the car. It could be expensive to hire a locksmith or dealer to replace it. The fobs are also powered by batteries, which means they'll require to be periodically replaced.
Another drawback to proximity key technology is that it breaks the cause-and-effect loop we're familiar with when using physical keys. With a traditional key, when you touch 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 vehicle to activate it.
Despite their disadvantages however, proximity keys are an amazing invention for those who do not want to lock themselves out of their car. If you have a proximity key, you should always keep a backup key on hand in case of an emergency. Contact your local Pop-A Lock to get a quote for services and prices.
Keyless Entry Systems
These systems are synchronized with back-end software, allowing landlords to monitor both exit and entry. These systems are connected to back-end programs and allow the landlord to monitor entry and exit. These systems also help tenants who are in emergency to gain access to the property.
A keyless entry system transmits encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver then interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to suit their preferences. It will automatically shut the door, for instance the driver has an item in his hand.
While the majority of keyless entry systems are extremely secure, some are vulnerable to attacks. For example a replay attack occurs when the remote control signal is recorded and transmitted to the device at a later point. This can be avoided by incorporating an algorithm into the keyless entry system that makes sure that every transmission is different from previous ones.
Another advantage of a keyless entry system is that it does not require changing the locks after every tenant turnover. This is a cost-effective part of the process of transferring units and it is logical for landlords to avoid this expense as much as feasible. With a keyless system, all you need to do is reset the code. This is much quicker and simpler than replacing the lock.
