Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau for responder and transmitter) include an electronic chip inside their heads. When the key is inserted into an automobile equipped with transponder tech it sends an unintentional message to a receiver near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this, it will cause the engine to turn on. Transponder chips were developed to deter car thieves and that is why they are found in the majority of modern automobiles.

In World War II, coded messages were broadcast over radio frequencies to determine if an aircraft was friendly or hostile. The same idea was later used to create car keys and keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in the year 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they've become used on the majority of new cars, and can also be retrofitted to older models.

If your car has this type of security, you should always have a spare key on hand, as the chip will only work properly if it's been scanned. This is not foolproof. There are some who have discovered ways to trick this system. They come with kits and tutorials on how to bypass the transponder with electrical relays and wires.

Proximity keys

Proximity keys are the latest keyless entry solutions, which are now being used on a variety vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their cars by touching the door handle with the key fob that is in their pocket or bag. The key fob will then communicate with the car, disengaging the immobiliser, allowing the engine to begin.

There are a few drawbacks to proximity key systems however. If the key fob is lost or damaged, it can't be used to start the vehicle. A locksmith or the dealership will need to replace it, and this can be expensive. Batteries also provide power to the fobs, so they'll have to be replaced frequently.

Another drawback to proximity key technology is that it disrupts the cause-and-effect cycle that we're familiar with when it comes to physical keys. With a traditional key it's when you press the lock and it opens, you know that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys you'll have to be within a certain distance of the vehicle to activate it.

Despite their downsides proximity keys are an amazing invention for those who don't want to lock themselves out of their car. In the event of an emergency, make sure you have an additional key on hand if you have a proximity-key. If you require a new key, you can contact your local Pop-Alock to inquire about the cost of replacements and also to request a quotation for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys that are not in the home are long gone and landlords can provide tenants with greater security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are connected to a back-end program and permit the landlord to monitor entry and exit. Furthermore, these systems make it simpler for tenants to get into the property in case there is a need to enter the property in case of emergency.

Keyless entry works by transmitting encrypted signals an internal receiver within the car. The receiver 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 suit their preferences. For example, if the driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will be able to detect this and shut the doors.

While most keyless entry systems are secure, some are susceptible to attacks. For example replay attacks occur when the original remote control signal is recorded and then sent back to the device at a later time. However, this could be prevented by incorporating into the keyless entry system a method that ensures that every transmission is distinct from previous ones.

Another advantage of a keyless entry system is that it doesn't require the replacement of locks following every tenant's move. This is a significant cost of the unit turnover process and it is logical for landlords to avoid this expense as much as possible. With a keyless system all you have to do is reset the code. This is much quicker and simpler than replacing the lock.
