Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau for responder and transmitter) include an electronic chip inside their heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle that uses transponder technology, the chip transmits low-level signals to a receiver near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this it will cause the engine to start. Transponder chips are made to protect cars from theft which is why a majority of modern cars use them.

Transponder technology first came into use during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether aircraft arriving were friendly or hostile. The same concept was later applied to car keys in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, all new vehicles come equipped with them, and they're also popular for older models that are retrofitted to include the transponder chip.

If your vehicle has this security feature, it is recommended to always have a spare key, as the chip can only function correctly if it is read. This is not foolproof. There are some who have discovered ways to fool 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 one of the most recent keyless entry innovations, which are becoming popular on a variety of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their cars by touching the door handle using the key fob, which is kept in their bag or pocket. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers and allows it to begin.

However proximity key systems do have some disadvantages. If the key fob gets damaged or lost, it cannot be used to start your car. A locksmith or a dealership will have to replace it, and this can be expensive. Batteries also power the fobs, which means they'll have to be replaced regularly.

The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of breaking the cause-and-effect cycle we are familiar with when using physical keys. With a traditional key it's when you press the lock and it opens, you'll know you have the key. You'll have to be within a specific distance to activate a proximity-sensing keys.

Despite their disadvantages proximity keys are an excellent invention for drivers who aren't looking to lock themselves out of their vehicle. In the event of an emergency, keep an extra key in case you own a proximity key. Contact your local Pop-A-Lock to inquire about services and prices.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys in the home are long gone and landlords can provide tenants with better security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are synced with back-end software that allows landlords to track access and exit. Additionally, these systems make it easier for tenants to enter the property in case an emergency.

Keyless entry systems work by sending encrypted signals to an internal receiver within the car. The receiver interprets 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 instance, if a driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will recognize this and then automatically shut the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems can be prone to attacks, despite being very safe. A replay attack, for instance occurs when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and then sent again at a later date. However, this could be thwarted by including in the keyless entry system a method that guarantees that each transmission is distinct from all previous ones.

Another advantage of the keyless entry system is that it does not require changing locks after every tenant's move. This is a significant cost of the unit turnover process and it is sensible for landlords to reduce this expense as often as it is possible. Additionally with a keyless access system, all that is required is resetting the key, which is a lot faster and less expensive than replacing the entire lock.
