Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) include an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When inserted into a car which uses transponder technology the chip sends a low-level signal to a receiver situated near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this it will trigger the engine to turn on. Transponder chips were developed to prevent car thieves, which is why they are used in most modern vehicles.

Transponder technology was first used in World War II, when encoded messages were sent over radio frequencies to determine whether incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, they've been present on all new cars, and can also be retrofitted into older models.

If your car has this kind of security, then you should always carry an extra key in case of emergency, since the chip will only work correctly if it is read. This isn't 100% secure. There are some who have discovered ways to fool the system. They come with kits and tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder by using electrical relays and wires.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are the most recent technology for keyless entry that is becoming popular across a variety of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their cars by simply touching the door handle with the key fob they carry in their pocket or bag. The key fob then communicates with the car, disengaging the immobiliser and allowing the engine to start.

However proximity key systems do have certain disadvantages. If the key fob is lost or damaged, it can't be used to start the vehicle. A locksmith or a dealership will need to replace it, which could be costly. The fobs are also powered by batteries, so they will need to be replaced from time to time.

The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of breaking the cause and effect cycle we are used to when using physical keys. If you're using a traditional 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 of the car to activate it.

Despite these downsides, proximity keys are a fantastic invention for drivers who want avoid locking themselves out their cars. In the event of an emergency, keep an additional key on hand if you have a proximity-key. If you require a new key, you can contact your local Pop-Alock to inquire about replacement costs and to get a quote for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding a spare key outside the home are over and landlords can now give tenants more security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems are synced to back-end software and allow the landlord to monitor entry and exit. Furthermore, these systems make it simpler for tenants to gain access to the property in case in the event of a crisis.

A keyless entry system operates by transmitting encrypted signals to the car's receiver. The receiver then interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect a driver's presence and adjust the vehicle's settings in accordance with their preferences. It will automatically close the door, for instance the driver has an item in his bag.

Certain keyless entry systems could be vulnerable to attacks, even though they are very safe. For instance a replay attack occurs where the original remote control signal is recorded and then repeated to the device at a later date. However, this can be thwarted by including in the keyless entry system a method that guarantees that each transmission is distinct from previous ones.

Another benefit of the keyless entry system is that it does not require changing locks after each tenant's departure. It is expensive to change locks every time a tenant moves out which is why it is recommended that landlords stay away from this expense as much as possible. Additionally when using a keyless entry system all that is required is resetting the code which is faster and simpler than replacing the entire lock.
