Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to transmitter and responder) contain an electronic chip inside their heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle that has transponder technology, the chip sends an low-level signal to the receiver that is located close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this, it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips were designed to stop car thieves from stealing cars which is why they are in use in many modern automobiles.

In World War II, coded messages were sent 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 the transponder chip.

If your car has this kind of security, it is recommended to always have an extra key in case of emergency, since the chip will only work correctly if it is read. It's not foolproof. Some people have found ways to fool the system. These kits include tutorials on how to bypass the transponder by using electrical relays and wires.

Proximity Keys

Proximity Keys are among the latest keyless entry technologies that are becoming popular in a variety of automobiles. The key fob is carried 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 have some drawbacks. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it is unable to be used to start your car. A locksmith or the dealership will need to replace it, and this could be costly. Batteries also provide power to the fobs, so they'll have to be replaced regularly.

The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of removing the cause-and-effect cycle we are familiar with when using physical keys. If you use a conventional key and the lock opens, you are aware that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys you'll have to be within a certain distance from the vehicle to activate it.

Despite their disadvantages the proximity key technology is a great invention for drivers who do not want to lock themselves out of their vehicle. If you own a proximity key, you should always keep a backup key in case of emergency. If you need a replacement key, contact your local Pop-A-Lock store to inquire about the cost of replacements and to request a quote for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys outside of the home are long gone and landlords can offer tenants better security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems are linked to back-end software that allows landlords to track the entry and exit of tenants. In addition these systems make it easier for tenants to access the property in the event in the event of a crisis.

A keyless entry system operates by transmitting encrypted signals the car's receiver. The receiver receives the signal and unlocks or begins your car. It also detects a driver's presence and adjust the car's settings according to their preferences. For example, if the driver is carrying bags in their hands, the system will recognize this and automatically close the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems could be prone to attacks, even though they are generally extremely secure. A replay attack, for instance is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded, and then transmitted again at a later time. However, this could be thwarted by including in the keyless entry system an algorithm that guarantees that each transmission is distinct from the previous ones.

Keyless entry also has the advantage that it doesn't require you to change the locks every when a tenant moves out. It can be costly to replace locks every time a tenant moves out and it is therefore sensible that landlords cut down on this expense as much as is possible. With a keyless lock, all you have to do is reset the code. This is much quicker and simpler than replacing the lock.
