Transponder Keys

In contrast to flat metal keys that operate mechanically with cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys have an electronic microchip in their key heads. When they are placed in a car which uses transponder technology the chip sends an unintentional signal to a receiver near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips were developed to prevent car thieves and that is why they are in use in many modern automobiles.

Transponder technology first came into use during World War II, when encoded messages were sent over radio frequencies to determine if aircraft incoming were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, the majority of new vehicles come equipped with them, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with them.

If you have a car equipped with this type of security system, you must always keep an extra transponder keys on hand, as it only works when the chip is read properly. But this isn't 100% secure and some have found ways to trick the transponder system, such as tutorials and kits that describe how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity Keys are among the latest keyless entry technology that is becoming popular across a variety of vehicles. The key fob is carried in a pocket, or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers, and allows it to begin.

However proximity key systems do have some drawbacks. If the key fob is lost or damaged the fob isn't usable to start the vehicle. A locksmith or the dealership will have to replace it, and this could be costly. Batteries also power the fobs, so they'll need to be changed frequently.

The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of breaking the cause and effect cycle we are familiar with 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 from the car to activate it.

Despite these disadvantages, proximity keys are a fantastic invention for drivers who want avoid locking themselves out their cars. If you have a proximity key, it is recommended to always keep a backup key on hand in case of emergency. If you require a new key, contact the local Pop-A Lock 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 over, and landlords can give tenants more security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are connected to a back-end program and permit landlords to track entry and exit. In addition these systems make it easier for tenants to get into the property in case in the event of a crisis.

Keyless entry works by sending encrypted signals to the car's receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust the vehicle settings to accommodate their preferences. For example, if a driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will be able to detect this and automatically close the doors.

Some keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks even though they're generally very safe. A replay attack, for example is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and transmitted to a different location at a later time. However, this can be stopped by adding to the keyless entry system an algorithm that ensures each transmission differs from previous ones.

Keyless entry systems also has the advantage that it doesn't require you to change the locks each when a tenant moves out. It's costly to change locks after every tenant turnover and it is therefore sensible that landlords stay away from this expense as much as they can. In addition with a keyless entry system, all that is required is resetting the code which is a lot faster and simpler than replacing the entire lock.
