Transponder Keys

Instead of flat metal keys that work mechanically using cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip within their key heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle that uses transponder technology, the chip transmits low-level signals to a 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 are made to stop theft of cars This is the reason that most modern vehicles have them.

During World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies 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 are equipped with them, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to include them.

If your car has this kind of security, then you should always carry a spare key on hand, as the chip will only work correctly if it is read. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some have discovered ways to evade the transponder system, including tutorials and kits that explain how to bypass it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are the newest keyless entry innovations, which are now being used on a variety of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle using the key fob, which is kept in their purse or pocket. The key fob connects to the vehicle, removing immobilisers from the vehicle and permitting it to start.

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 dealership will need to replace it, which could be costly. Batteries also power the fobs, which means they'll require replacing often.

The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of removing the cause-and-effect cycle we are used to when using physical keys. With a traditional key, if you touch the lock and it opens, you'll know that you have the key. You'll need to be within a specified distance to activate the proximity-sensing lock.

Despite their limitations proximity keys are an excellent invention for drivers who aren't looking to be locked out of their car. In case of emergency, make sure you have a backup key handy if you have a proximity-key. If you need a new key, call the local Pop-A Lock to inquire about the cost of replacements and to receive a price for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

These systems are synchronized with back-end software that allows landlords to monitor the entry and exit. These systems sync with back-end programs, allowing the landlord to monitor the entry and exit of tenants. Additionally, these systems make it simpler for tenants to access the property in the event there is a need to enter the property in case of emergency.

Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver then interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of a driver and adjust the vehicle's settings according to their preferences. For instance, if a driver is carrying bags in their hands, the system will recognize this and close the doors.

Although most keyless entry systems are extremely safe, some are vulnerable to attacks. For instance a replay attack occurs when the initial remote control signal is recorded, and then sent again to the device at a later date. However, this could be stopped by adding to the keyless entry system an algorithm that ensures each transmission differs from all previous ones.

Another benefit of keyless entry systems is that it does not need to change locks after every tenant's move. It's costly to change locks for every tenant turnover and therefore it is sensible that landlords stay away from this cost as much as they can. In addition with a keyless access system all that is required is to reset the code, which is faster and simpler than replacing the entire lock.
