Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to transmitter and responder) contain an electronic chip inside their heads. When inserted into a car that is equipped with transponder technology the chip sends an unintentional signal to a receiver situated near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start, provided that it is programmed to it. Transponder chips were designed to prevent car thieves which is why they are used in most modern automobiles.

Transponder technology was first utilized during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted on radio frequencies to determine whether aircraft incoming were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, transponder keys are present on all new vehicles, and can also be retrofitted to older models.

If your car is equipped with this security feature, you should always have an extra key in case of emergency, since the chip will only work properly if it is scanned. But this isn't 100% secure, and some people have discovered ways to fool the transponder system, including kits and tutorials that explain how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity keys

Proximity keys are the latest keyless entry innovations, which are becoming popular on a variety of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle using the key fob that is in their purse or pocket. The key fob will then communicate with the car, disengaging the immobiliser while allowing the engine to start.

There are a few drawbacks to proximity key systems, though. If the key fob becomes damaged or lost, it is unable to be used to start your car. It could be expensive to find a locksmith or a dealership to replace it. Batteries also provide power to the fobs, so they'll need to be replaced regularly.

Another drawback of proximity keys technology is that it breaks the cause/effect cycle we're all familiar with 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 car to activate it.

Despite these downsides they are a fantastic invention for those who wish to avoid locking themselves out their cars. In case of emergency, always have an additional key on hand if you have a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop-A-Lock for a quote on the services and costs.

Keyless entry works by transmitting encrypted signals the car's receiver. The receiver detects the signal and then unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of a driver and adjust the settings of the vehicle in accordance with their preferences. For instance, if a driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will recognize this and close the doors.

While most keyless entry systems are incredibly secure, some are vulnerable to attack. A replay attack, for example is when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and then sent again at a later date. This can be avoided by incorporating an algorithm into the keyless entry system, which ensures that each transmission is distinct from the previous one.

Another advantage of keyless entry systems is that it does not need to change locks after each tenant's turnover. It's costly to change locks following every turnover of a tenant, so it makes sense that landlords try to avoid this cost as much as they can.
