Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) have an electronic chip within their heads. When the key is inserted into a vehicle equipped with transponder technology the chip sends an unintentional message to a receiver near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start, if it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to deter car thieves which is why they are present in a majority of modern vehicles.

Transponder technology was first used during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over 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, all new vehicles are equipped with them, and they're also popular for older models that are retrofitted to include the transponder chip.

If your vehicle has this kind of security, you must always have an extra key in case of emergency, since the chip will only work properly if it is scanned. However, this isn't foolproof and some have found ways to trick the transponder system. These include tutorials and kits that describe how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity Keys are one of the newest keyless entry technologies that are becoming popular across a variety of vehicles. The key fob is carried in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob then connects to the car, removing the immobiliser while allowing the engine to begin.

There are some disadvantages for proximity key systems however. If the key fob is lost or damaged it won't be able to start the car. It's costly to get a locksmith replace it. Batteries also provide power to the fobs. So they'll need to be replaced periodically.

The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of removing the cause-and-effect cycle that we are all used to 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 need to be within a certain distance from the car to activate it.

Despite their downsides however, proximity keys are an amazing tool for drivers who aren't looking to lock themselves out of their car. If you have a proximity key, make sure you always keep a backup key in case of an emergency. Contact your local Pop A Lock store to get a quote for services and costs.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding a spare key outside the home are long gone and landlords can provide tenants with better security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are connected to back-end software and allow landlords to track entry and exit. These systems also make it easier for tenants in times of crisis to get into the property.

A keyless entry system transmits encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver reads the signal and unlocks your car or starts it. It also can detect the presence of a driver and adjust the car's settings according to their preferences. For example, if the driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will be able to detect this and automatically close the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems can be prone to attacks, even though they're generally very safe. For example a replay attack occurs when the remote control signal is recorded and then repeated to the device at a later date. This can be prevented by adding an algorithm to the keyless entry system, which ensures that every transmission is distinct from the previous one.

Another benefit of keyless entry systems is that it doesn't need to change locks after each tenant's departure. It's expensive to replace locks after every tenant turnover, so it makes sense that landlords try to avoid this expense as much as is possible. With a keyless lock, all you have to do is reset the code. This is a lot quicker and easier than replacing the lock.
