Transponder Keys

In contrast to flat metal keys that operate mechanically with cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys have an electronic microchip in their key heads. When inserted into a car that has transponder technology, the chip sends low-level signals to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to begin, if it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to deter car thieves which is why they are found in the majority of modern vehicles.

In World War II, coded messages were sent over radio frequencies to determine if an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same idea was later used to create car keys and keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, the majority of new skoda key cars come with them, and they're also popular for older models that are retrofitted to include the transponder chip.

If your car has this kind of security, you should always have an extra key, as the chip will only work properly if it's been scanned. It's not foolproof. Some people have found ways to trick the system. They include kits and tutorials on how to bypass the transponder using wires and electrical relays.

Proximity keys

Proximity keys are the newest keyless entry technologies, which are becoming popular on a number of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle using the key fob they carry in their bag or pocket. The key fob then connects to the car, removing the immobiliser and allowing the engine to begin.

However proximity key systems have some disadvantages. If the key fob is damaged or lost it won't be able to start the vehicle. It's expensive to find a locksmith or a dealership to replace it. Batteries also provide power to the fobs. So they'll require replacing regularly.

The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of breaking the cause-and effect cycle that we are all familiar with when using physical keys. With 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 from the car to activate it.

Despite their disadvantages proximity keys are an amazing invention for those who aren't looking to be locked out of their vehicle. In the event of an emergencies, always keep an extra key in case you own a proximity-key. If you require a replacement 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 linked to back-end software, which allows landlords to track access and exit. In addition these systems make it easier for tenants to access the property in the event an emergency.

A keyless entry system sends encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver reads the signal and unlocks or starts your car. It can also detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust settings to accommodate their needs. It will automatically close the door if, for example, the driver has bags in his hands.

Certain keyless entry systems could be prone to attacks, even though they are generally extremely secure. For example replay attacks occur when the initial remote control signal is recorded, and then transmitted to the device at a later point. This can be prevented by using an algorithm in the keyless entry system that makes sure that each transmission is distinct from the previous ones.

Another advantage of keyless entry systems is that it does not require the replacement of locks following each tenant's turnover. It's costly to change locks after every tenant turnover which is why it is recommended that landlords try to avoid this cost as much as they can. Moreover when using a keyless entry system, all that is required is to reset the code, which is much quicker and less expensive than replacing the entire lock.
