Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) are equipped with an electronic chip within their heads. When inserted into a car that is equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits an low-level signal to the receiver close to 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 guard against theft of cars This is the reason that most modern cars use them.

During World War II, coded messages were sent over radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same idea was later applied to car keys in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, a majority of new vehicles are equipped with them, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with them.

If you have a car equipped with this type of security system, it is recommended to always have an extra transponder card on hand, as it will only work in the event that the chip is scanned correctly. But this isn't 100% secure and some have discovered ways to evade the transponder system, such as kits and tutorials that explain how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity keys

Proximity Keys are among the latest keyless entry technologies that are becoming popular in a variety of automobiles. The key fob is put in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, removing immobilisers and allowing it to start.

However, proximity key systems have some disadvantages. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it will not be used to start your vehicle. A locksmith or the dealership will have to replace it, and this can be expensive. The fobs are also powered by batteries, meaning they'll have to be replaced from time to time.

Another disadvantage of proximity key technology is that it breaks the cause/effect cycle we're all familiar with using physical keys. When using a traditional key, if you touch the lock and it opens, you know that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys, you'll need to be within a certain distance of the vehicle to activate it.

Despite these limitations the proximity keys are a great innovation for drivers who want to prevent locking themselves out of their vehicles. In case of emergency, always have an additional key on hand if you have a proximity-key. If you require a replacement key, contact your local Pop-Alock to inquire about replacement costs and also to request a quotation for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

These systems are synchronized to back-end software, allowing landlords to monitor entry and exit. These systems are synced to back-end software, allowing landlords to monitor entrance and exit. Additionally these systems make it easier for tenants to gain access to the property in case of a crisis.

A keyless entry system transmits encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It can also recognize the presence of a driver and adjust the vehicle's settings according to their preferences. It will shut the door, for instance, the driver has an item in his bag.

Certain keyless entry systems could be vulnerable to attacks even though they're generally very secure. For example a replay attack occurs where the original remote control signal is recorded and then sent again to the device at a later date. This can be prevented by creating an algorithm for the keyless entry system that ensures each transmission is distinct from the previous ones.

Another advantage of keyless entry systems is that it doesn't require the replacement of locks following every tenant turnover. It can be costly to replace locks after every tenant turnover, so it makes sense that landlords avoid this expense as much as possible. Furthermore when using a keyless entry system all that is needed is resetting the key, which is faster and less costly than replacing the entire lock.
