Transponder Keys

Unlike flat metal keys that operate mechanically with cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys have an electronic microchip inside their key heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle which uses transponder technology the chip sends an low-level signal to the receiver close to the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start if it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are made to protect cars from theft This is the reason that most modern vehicles use them.

Transponder technology first came into use during World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether the aircraft that was incoming was friendly or hostile. The same idea was later used to create car keys and keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they've been commonplace on new cars and are also retrofitted to older models.

If you have a car equipped with this type of security system, make sure you always keep an extra transponder key in your car, as it only works in the event that the chip is scanned correctly. However, this isn't foolproof, and some people have found ways to trick the transponder system. This includes tutorials and kits that describe how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity keys

Proximity keys are the most recent technology for keyless entry 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 then communicates with the car, disengaging the immobiliser, allowing the engine to begin.

There are a few disadvantages for proximity key systems however. If the key fob gets damaged or lost, it will not be used to start your vehicle. A locksmith or dealership will need to replace it, and this can be expensive. Batteries also provide power to the fobs. So they'll need to be replaced frequently.

Another drawback of proximity key technology is that it disrupts the cause/effect cycle we're all familiar with using physical keys. With a traditional key, if you touch the lock and it opens, you know you have the key. You'll have to be within a specified distance to activate the proximity-sensing lock.

Despite these limitations they are a fantastic invention for those who wish to avoid locking themselves out of their vehicles. In the event of an emergency, make sure you have an emergency key with you if you own a proximity key. If you require a new key, call your local Pop-A-Lock to learn about replacement costs and also to request a quotation for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys that are not in the home are over and landlords can now give tenants more security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are synced with back-end programs, allowing the landlord to monitor entry and exit. These systems also make it easier for tenants in a crisis to enter the property.

Keyless entry works by sending encrypted signals to the car's receiver. The receiver detects the signal and then unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust the vehicle settings to suit their preferences. It will automatically shut the door in the event that, for instance the driver has a bag in his hands.

While the majority of keyless entry systems are secure, some of them are vulnerable to attacks. A replay attack, for example is when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded, and then transmitted again at a later point. 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 offers the benefit of not having to doesn't require changing the locks each when a tenant leaves. It's expensive to replace locks after every tenant turnover and therefore it is sensible that landlords try to avoid this cost as much as they can. With a keyless system, all you have to do is reset the code. This is a lot quicker and less costly than replacing the lock.
