Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau for responder and transmitter) contain an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When the key is put into a vehicle equipped with transponder tech, the chip sends out an informational low-level message to the receiver that is located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so, it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips were created to prevent car thieves which is why they are present in a majority of modern vehicles.

In World War II, coded messages were transmitted via radio frequencies in order to determine if an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same idea was later applied to keys for cars in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, the majority of new cars come with keys that have transponder chips, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to incorporate the transponder chip.

If you have a car equipped with this kind of security system, you must always keep a spare transponder key in your car, as it only works in the event that the chip is scanned properly. This isn't 100% secure. There are some who have discovered ways to trick this system. There are kits and tutorials on how to bypass the transponder with electrical relays and wires.

Proximity keys

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

There are some downsides with proximity key systems though. If the key fob is lost or damaged, it can't be used to start the car. It could be expensive to have a locksmith or dealership replace it. Batteries also power the fobs, which means they'll have to be replaced often.

Another drawback of proximity keys technology is that it breaks the cause/effect cycle we're all used to with physical keys. With a traditional key it's when you press the lock and it opens, you'll know 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 limitations the proximity key technology is an excellent invention for drivers who aren't looking to be locked out of their vehicle. In the event of an emergency, make sure you have an additional key on hand if you own a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop A Lock store for a quote on services and costs.

Keyless Entry Systems

These systems are synchronized with back-end software that allows landlords to monitor both exit and entry. These systems sync to a back-end program and permit landlords to keep track of entry and exit. These systems also allow tenants who are in emergency to gain access to the property.

A keyless entry system sends encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and opens or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to accommodate their preferences. It will automatically close the door in the event that, for instance the driver is carrying a bag in his hands.

While the majority of keyless entry systems are incredibly secure, some are vulnerable to attacks. For instance a replay attack occurs where the original remote control signal is recorded and transmitted to the device at a later date. However, this can be stopped by adding to the keyless entry system an algorithm that ensures that every transmission is distinct from previous ones.

Keyless entry also offers the advantage of being a keyless entry system that does not require you to replace locks each time a tenant moves out. It's costly to change locks after every tenant turnover which is why it is recommended that landlords try to avoid this expense as much as they can. With a keyless system, all you need to do is reset the code. This is much quicker and easier than replacing the lock.
