Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to transmitter and responder) have an electronic chip within their heads. When the key is put into a vehicle equipped with transponder tech it sends an insignificant message to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to transmit this signal it will cause the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are made to protect cars from theft This is the reason that most modern cars use them.

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

If your car is equipped with this type of security, you should always have an extra key in case of emergency, since the chip can only function properly if it's been scanned. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some people have discovered ways to evade the transponder system. This includes tutorials and kits that describe how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity keys

Proximity keys are the newest keyless entry innovations, which are now being used on a number of vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle with the key fob in their bag or pocket. The key fob then communicates with the car, removing the immobiliser, allowing the engine to begin.

However proximity key systems have some drawbacks. If the key fob is damaged or lost it isn't able to start the vehicle. A locksmith or a dealership will have to replace it, and this can be expensive. The fobs are also powered by batteries, and so they'll have to be replaced from time to time.

The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of breaking 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 know that you have the key. You'll need to be within a certain distance to activate the proximity-sensing lock.

Despite these downsides they are a fantastic option for drivers who want to avoid locking themselves out of their cars. In the event of an emergency, keep an emergency key with you if you own a proximity-key. If you require a replacement key, you can contact your local Pop-A-Lock store to inquire about the cost of replacements and to receive a price 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 the keyless entry system. These systems are synced to back-end programs and allow landlords to keep track of entry and exit. These systems also help tenants in crisis to get into the property.

A keyless entry system transmits encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver reads the signal and unlocks or starts your car. It also can detect a driver's presence and adjust the car's settings according to their preferences. It will automatically close the door, for instance, the driver has an item in his bag.

Although most keyless entry systems are incredibly secure, some are susceptible to attack. For instance a replay attack occurs when the original remote control signal is recorded and sent back to the device at a later time. This can be prevented by creating an algorithm for the keyless entry system that makes sure that each transmission is distinct from previous ones.

Another advantage of keyless entry systems is that it does not need to change locks after each tenant's departure. This is an expensive part of the process of transferring units, and it makes sense for landlords to avoid this expense whenever possible. Furthermore when using a keyless entry system the only thing that is required is resetting the key, which is much faster and easier than replacing the entire lock.
