Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to responder and transmitter) are equipped with an electronic chip within their heads. When inserted into a car that uses transponder technology, the chip transmits a low-level signal to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are made to stop theft of cars which is why a majority of modern vehicles use them.

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

If your car has this kind of security, then it is recommended to always have a spare key, as the chip will only work effectively if it's scanned. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some people have discovered methods to fool the transponder system. This includes tutorials and kits that describe how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity keys

Proximity Keys are one of the newest keyless entry technology that is becoming popular in a variety vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their cars by touching the door handle with the key fob they carry in their purse or pocket. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers and permitting it to start.

There are a few drawbacks to proximity key systems, though. If the key fob is lost or damaged the fob isn't usable to start the car. It's costly to have a locksmith or dealership replace it. The fobs are also powered by batteries, and so they will need to be periodically replaced.

The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of removing the cause-and-effect cycle that we are all familiar with when using physical keys. When you insert a traditional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys, you'll have to be within a certain distance of the car to activate it.

Despite these limitations, proximity keys are a fantastic invention for those who wish to keep themselves from locking out of their cars. If you have a proximity key, make sure you always have a spare key on hand in case of an emergency. Contact your local Pop-A-Lock for a quote on services and costs.

Keyless Entry Systems

These systems are synchronized with back-end software that allows the landlord to monitor entry and exit. These systems also make it easier for tenants in situation of crisis to access the property.

Keyless entry systems work by sending encrypted signals to an internal receiver within the car. The receiver receives the signal and unlocks or begins your car. It can also detect the presence of a driver and adjust vehicle settings to suit their preferences. For example, if a driver is carrying a bag in their hands, the system will recognize this and close the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks even though they are generally extremely secure. For instance replay attacks occur when the initial remote control signal is recorded and then sent back to the device at a later date. This can be avoided by using an algorithm in the keyless entry system that ensures each transmission is distinct from previous ones.

A keyless entry system also offers the benefit of not having to doesn't require changing locks every when a tenant leaves. It's costly to change locks every time a tenant moves out which is why it is recommended that landlords stay away from this cost as much as they can.
