Transponder Keys

Contrary to the flat metal keys which operate mechanically with cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip embedded in their key heads. When the key is put into a vehicle that utilizes transponder technology the chip transmits a low-level message to a receiver near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start if it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to guard against theft of cars which is why a majority of modern vehicles have them.

During World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine if an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same concept was later applied to keys for cars, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, all new cars come with them, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to incorporate the transponder chip.

If your car has this security feature, you must always have an extra key in case of emergency, since the chip will only work correctly if it is read. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some people have discovered ways to fool the transponder system, including tutorials and kits that describe how to bypass it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity keys

Proximity keys are the most recent technology for keyless entry that is becoming popular in a variety of vehicles. The key fob is stored in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob connects to the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers and allows it to start.

There are some disadvantages to proximity key systems, however. If the key fob gets damaged or lost, it cannot be used to start your vehicle. A locksmith or dealership will need to replace it, and this can be expensive. The fobs are also powered by batteries, so they'll have to be replaced every now and then.

The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of breaking the cause and effect cycle we are used to when using physical keys. In the case of a traditional lock, when you touch the lock and it opens, you'll know that you have the key. You'll need to be within a specific distance to activate the proximity-sensing lock.

Despite their drawbacks the proximity key technology is an amazing tool for drivers who do not want to lock themselves out of their car. If you have a proximity key, you should always keep a backup key in the event of an emergency. If you require a replacement key, call your local Pop-Alock to inquire about the cost of replacements and to receive a price for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding keys outside of the home are long gone and landlords can now give tenants more security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems sync to back-end programs and allow landlords to monitor entrance and exit. These systems also aid tenants who are in crisis to enter the property.

A keyless entry system transmits encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver then interprets the signal and opens or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of a driver and adjust vehicle settings to accommodate their needs. For instance, if a driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will be able to detect this and shut the doors.

Some keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks even though they are extremely secure. A replay attack, for instance occurs when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and then sent again at a later time. This can be avoided by using an algorithm in the keyless entry system to ensure that every transmission is different from previous ones.

Keyless entry systems also offers the advantage of being a keyless entry system that doesn't require you to change the locks every time a tenant is moved out. It's expensive to replace locks every time a tenant moves out and therefore it is sensible that landlords avoid this cost as much as they can. Furthermore with a keyless access system all that is required is resetting the code, which is a lot faster and less expensive than replacing the entire lock.
