Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau for transmitter and responder) are equipped with an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When they are placed in a car which uses transponder technology the chip transmits an unintentional signal to a receiver situated near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips are designed to stop theft of cars, which is why most modern vehicles use them.

Transponder technology was first introduced in World War II, when coded messages were transmitted on radio frequencies to determine whether incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. The same concept was later used to create car keys as well, with General Motors creating the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, all new cars come with them, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to incorporate them.

If you own a vehicle equipped with this type of security system, it is recommended to always have an extra transponder key in your car, as it will only work only if the chip has been scanned properly. This isn't 100% secure. Some people have found ways to trick this system. They include kits and tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder by using wires and electrical relays.

Proximity keys

Proximity Keys are one of the newest technology for keyless entry that is 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 then communicates with the car, disengaging the immobiliser, allowing the engine to begin.

However proximity key systems have some drawbacks. If the key fob gets damaged or lost, it is unable to be used to start your vehicle. It can be costly to have a locksmith or dealership replace it. Batteries also power the fobs, which means they'll have to be replaced frequently.

The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of breaking the cause-and-effect cycle that we are all familiar with when using physical keys. When you insert a traditional key and the lock opens, you are aware that you have the key. You must be within a certain distance to activate a proximity-sensing keys.

Despite their disadvantages proximity keys are an amazing invention for those who don't want to lock themselves out of their car. In case of emergencies, always keep a backup key handy if you own a proximity-key. If you need a new key, call your local Pop-A-Lock store to inquire about prices for replacements and to request a quote for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys in the home are long gone and landlords can now provide tenants with better security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are linked to back-end programs, allowing the landlord to monitor access and exit. These systems also aid tenants in a crisis to enter the property.

A keyless entry system transmits encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver receives the signal and opens or turns off your car. It can also detect the presence of a driver and adjust vehicle settings to accommodate their preferences. It will automatically close the door, for instance, the driver has an item in his hand.

While most keyless entry systems are extremely secure, some of them are vulnerable to attack. For example the term replay attack refers to when the original remote control signal is recorded, and then repeated to the device at a later date. This can be avoided by adding an algorithm to the keyless entry system to ensure that each transmission is distinct from previous ones.

A keyless entry system offers the advantage of being a keyless entry system that doesn't require you to change locks every time a tenant is moved out. This is a costly part of the process for converting units and it is logical for landlords to avoid this expense whenever it is possible. Additionally when using a keyless entry system all that is required is resetting the code which is faster and less expensive than replacing the entire lock.
