Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to transmitter and responder) have an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When the key is inserted into an automobile equipped with transponder tech it sends an insignificant message to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to send this signal, it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips were developed to stop car thieves from stealing cars which is why they are in use in many modern vehicles.

During World War II, coded messages were broadcast over radio frequencies to determine if an aircraft was hostile or friendly. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, all new cars are equipped with keys that have transponder chips, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with them.

If you have a car equipped with this kind of security system, it is recommended to always have an extra transponder key on hand, since it will only work if the chip is scanned correctly. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some have discovered ways to fool the transponder system, including tutorials and kits that show how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity Keys are one of the newest keyless entry technologies that are becoming popular across a variety of vehicles. The key fob can be carried in a pocket, or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob will then communicate with the car, removing the immobiliser, Skoda key allowing the engine to begin.

There are a few drawbacks to proximity key systems however. If the key fob is damaged or lost the fob isn't usable to start the car. A locksmith or the dealership will need to replace it, and this can be expensive. Batteries also power the fobs, so they'll need to be changed often.

Another disadvantage of proximity key technology is that it breaks the cause-and-effect cycle that we're familiar with using physical keys. When you insert a traditional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. You'll have to be within a specified distance to activate the proximity-sensing key.

Despite these limitations, proximity keys are a great innovation for those who wish to avoid locking themselves out of their cars. If you have a proximity key, you should always have a backup key on hand in the event of an emergency. If you need a replacement key, contact your local Pop-A-Lock store to inquire about prices for replacements and to receive a price for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys in the home are long gone and landlords can now provide tenants with better security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems are synced with back-end software, which allows landlords to keep track of the entry and exit of tenants. Additionally these systems make it easier for tenants to enter the property in case of a crisis.

Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver reads the signal and opens or turns off your car. It can also detect a driver's presence and adjust the vehicle's settings according to their preferences. It will automatically shut the door in the event that, for instance the driver is carrying an item in his bag.

Certain keyless entry systems could be vulnerable to attacks, even though they are very safe. A replay attack, for instance occurs when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and transmitted to a different location at a later time. This can be prevented by incorporating an algorithm into the keyless entry system that ensures each transmission is distinct from the previous one.

Keyless entry also offers the benefit that it does not require you to replace locks each when a tenant leaves. This is a costly part of the process for converting units and it is logical for landlords to avoid this expense whenever possible. If you have a keyless system, all you need to do is reset the code. This is a lot quicker and easier than replacing the lock.
