Transponder Keys

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

Transponder technology was first used during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted on radio frequencies to determine if aircraft arriving were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, most new cars are equipped with keys that have transponder chips, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with the transponder chip.

If you own a vehicle equipped with this type of security system, it is recommended to always have an extra transponder keys on hand, since it will only work in the event that the chip is scanned correctly. This is not foolproof. There are some who have discovered ways to fool the system. They include kits and tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder using wires and electrical relays.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are the most recent technology for keyless entry that is becoming popular across a variety of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their cars by simply touching the door handle using the key fob that is in their purse or pocket. The key fob then communicates with the car, disengaging the immobiliser and allowing the engine to begin.

There are some disadvantages to proximity key systems though. If the fob of your key is damaged or lost, it is unable to be used to start your vehicle. It's costly to hire a locksmith or dealer to replace it. The fobs are also powered by batteries, which means they will need to be periodically replaced.

The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of breaking the cause-and effect cycle that we are all familiar with when using physical keys. If you use a conventional 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 of the car to activate it.

Despite their disadvantages the proximity key technology is an amazing invention for those who do not want to lock themselves out of their car. If you have a proximity key, you should always keep a backup key on hand in case of emergency. Contact your local Pop-Alock for a quote on the services and costs.

Keyless entry systems work by transmitting encrypted signals the car's receiver. The receiver interprets the signal, unlocks or starts your car. It also detects the presence of a driver and adjust the car's settings according to their preferences. It will automatically close the door if, for example, the driver has an item in his bag.

Certain keyless entry systems could be vulnerable to attacks even though they are extremely secure. For example replay attacks occur where the original remote control signal is recorded, and then sent back to the device at a later date. However, this can be thwarted by including in the keyless entry system a method that ensures each transmission differs from previous ones.

Another advantage of a keyless entry system is that it doesn't require the replacement of locks following every tenant turnover. It can be costly to replace locks for every tenant turnover which is why it is recommended that landlords stay away from this expense as much as they can.
