Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) have an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When the key is inserted into a vehicle equipped with transponder tech it sends an informational low-level message to the receiver near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to begin, when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to guard against theft of cars which is why a majority of modern vehicles use them.

Transponder technology was first used during World War II, when encoded messages were sent over radio frequencies to determine if aircraft incoming were friendly or hostile. The same idea was later applied to car keys and keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they are present on all new vehicles, and can also be retrofitted into older models.

If your car has this kind of security, then you should always have a spare key on hand, as the chip will only work correctly if it is read. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some people have discovered methods to fool the transponder system, including tutorials and kits that show how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity keys

Proximity keys are one of the most recent keyless entry technology, and are becoming popular in a variety of vehicles. They let drivers unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle using the key fob in their pocket or bag. The key fob will then communicate with the car, removing the immobiliser while allowing the engine to start.

However proximity key systems have some drawbacks. If the key fob is damaged or lost the fob isn't usable to start the vehicle. A locksmith or the dealership will have to replace it, which could be costly. The fobs are also powered by batteries, which means they'll have to be replaced regularly.

The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of removing 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 vehicle to activate it.

Despite these drawbacks, proximity keys are a fantastic invention for those who want to prevent locking themselves out of their vehicles. If you have a proximity key, it is recommended to always have a backup key on hand in the event of an emergency. Contact your local Pop A Lock store for a quote on services and costs.

Keyless Entry Systems

These systems are synchronized to back-end software, allowing landlords to keep track of both exit and entry. These systems are linked to back-end software, allowing landlords to track the process of entry and exit. These systems also make it easier for tenants who are in emergency to gain access to the property.

Keyless entry systems work by sending encrypted signals to a receiver inside the car. The receiver then responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust settings to accommodate their preferences. For example, if a driver is carrying a bag in their hands, the system will recognize this and close the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks, despite being very secure. For instance a replay attack occurs where the original remote control signal is recorded, and then repeated to the device at a later point. This can be avoided by using an algorithm in the keyless entry system that makes sure that each transmission is unique from the previous ones.

Another benefit of a keyless entry system is that it doesn't need to change locks after each tenant's departure. It's expensive to replace locks for every tenant turnover, so it makes sense that landlords cut down on this cost as much as they can. Additionally with a keyless access system all that is required is resetting the key, which is much quicker and easier than replacing the entire lock.
