Transponder Keys

Unlike flat metal keys that operate mechanically by cutting the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip in their key heads. When inserted into a car that is equipped with transponder technology the chip sends low-level signals to a receiver located near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start, when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to stop car thieves from stealing cars, which is why they are used in most modern automobiles.

Transponder technology was first introduced in World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine if aircraft arriving were friendly or hostile. The same idea was later applied to keys for cars as well, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, a majority of new cars are equipped with them, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with the transponder chip.

If you own a vehicle with this type of security system, it is recommended to always keep an extra transponder keys at hand, as it only works only if the chip has been scanned properly. It isn't foolproof. There are some who have discovered ways to fool the system. These kits include tutorials that explain how to disable the transponder by using electrical relays and wires.

Proximity keys

Proximity Keys are one of the newest keyless entry technologies that are becoming popular in a variety vehicles. The key fob can be put in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob connects to the vehicle, removing immobilisers from the vehicle and allows it to begin.

There are some downsides to proximity key systems however. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it can't be used to start the vehicle. A locksmith or a dealership will need to replace it, and this can be expensive. The fobs are also powered by batteries, meaning they'll require to be replaced regularly.

The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of removing the cause-and-effect cycle that we are all used to when using physical keys. When you use a traditional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. You'll need to be within a specified distance to activate a proximity-sensing keys.

Despite their downsides, proximity key technology is an amazing tool for drivers who aren't looking to be locked out of their vehicle. In the event of an emergency, keep an emergency key with you if you own a proximity key. Contact your local Pop A Lock store for a quote on the services and costs.

Keyless Entry Systems

These systems are synchronized with back-end software, which allows landlords to keep track of both exit and entry. These systems are linked to a back-end program and permit landlords to keep track of 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 transmitting encrypted signals the car's receiver. The receiver responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust settings to suit their preferences. It will shut the door, for instance, the driver has bags in his hands.

Certain keyless entry systems can be prone to attacks, even though they're generally very secure. For instance replay attacks occur when the initial remote control signal is recorded and sent again to the device at a later time. However, this can be prevented by incorporating into the keyless entry system an algorithm that guarantees that each transmission is distinct from previous ones.

Another advantage of keyless entry systems is that it doesn't require the replacement of locks following each tenant's turnover. It is expensive to change locks after every tenant turnover and it is therefore sensible that landlords avoid this expense as much as they can. With a keyless system, all you have to do is reset the code. This is much quicker and less costly than replacing the lock.
