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 inside their key heads. When they are placed in a car that uses transponder technology, the chip sends an unintentional signal to a receiver that is located close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to send this signal, it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips are made to prevent car theft which is why a majority of modern vehicles use them.

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

If your car is equipped with this type of security, you must always have an extra key in case of emergency, since the chip will only work properly if it's been scanned. This is not foolproof. There are some who have discovered ways to fool this system. There are kits and tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder by using wires and electrical relays.

Proximity keys

Proximity Keys are the newest keyless entry innovations that are becoming popular in a variety of vehicles. The key fob is carried in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob then connects to the car, removing the immobiliser, allowing the engine to begin.

There are some disadvantages to proximity key systems though. If the key fob gets damaged or lost, it is unable to be used to start your vehicle. A locksmith or a dealership will have to replace it, and this could be costly. The fobs are also powered by batteries, and so they'll have to be periodically replaced.

Another disadvantage of proximity key technology is that it disrupts the cause/effect process we're familiar with when it comes to physical keys. If you're using a traditional key and the lock opens, you are aware that you have the key. You'll need to be within a specific distance to activate a proximity-sensing keys.

Despite their disadvantages, proximity key technology is an amazing tool for drivers who aren't looking to be locked out of their vehicle. If you have a proximity key, it is recommended to always have a spare key on hand in the event of an emergency. Contact your local Pop-A-Lock to get a quote for services and prices.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding keys in the home are long gone and landlords can provide tenants with greater security by installing keys-free entry systems. These systems are synchronized with back-end software, allowing landlords to keep track of entry and exit. In addition, these systems make it easier for tenants to get into the property in case there is a need to enter the property in case of emergency.

A keyless entry system operates by transmitting encrypted signals an internal receiver within the car. The receiver then interprets the signal and opens or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust settings to suit their preferences. For example, if a driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will be able to detect this and shut the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems can be prone to attacks, even though they're generally very safe. For instance, a replay attack is when the original remote control signal is recorded, and then repeated to the device at a later time. This can be avoided by creating an algorithm for the keyless entry system to ensure that each transmission is unique from previous ones.

Another advantage of keyless entry systems is that it does not require changing the locks after each tenant's turnover. It's costly to change locks after every tenant turnover and it is therefore sensible that landlords avoid this expense as much as they can. Furthermore with a keyless access system all that is required is resetting the key, which is much faster and simpler than replacing the entire lock.
