Skoda Keys - Keyless Entry and Proximity Keys

The technical boffins at Skoda know how to safely unlock and open your car with no traditional key. The latest systems ensure that the key is within the zone of the vehicle, and that the button has been pressed.

Transponder Keys

Instead of flat metal keys that operate mechanically by cutting the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys have an electronic microchip in their key heads. When the key is inserted into an automobile that uses transponder technology it sends an informational low-level message to the receiver that is located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this it will trigger the engine to start. Transponder chips are made to stop theft of cars which is why a majority of modern vehicles have them.

Transponder technology first came into use in World War II, when encoded messages were sent over radio frequencies to determine whether aircraft arriving were friendly or hostile. The same idea was later applied to car keys and keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, most new cars come with keys that have transponder chips, and they are also popular for older models that are retrofitted to include them.

If you own a vehicle with this type of security system, it is recommended to always have an extra transponder key on hand, since it will only work only if the chip has been scanned correctly. However, this isn't completely foolproof, and some people have found ways to trick the transponder system, including tutorials and kits that show how to bypass it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity keys

Proximity Keys are among the latest technology for keyless entry that is becoming popular in a variety of vehicles. The key fob is stored in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, removing immobilisers from the vehicle and allows it to begin.

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

The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of breaking the cause and effect cycle we are familiar with when using physical keys. In the case of a traditional lock, if you touch the lock and it opens, you'll know you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys you'll have to be within a certain distance of the vehicle to activate it.

Despite these disadvantages they are a great innovation for those who wish to avoid locking themselves out of their cars. In the event of an emergencies, always keep an emergency key with you if you own a proximity-key. If you need a replacement key, contact your local Pop-A-Lock store to inquire about replacement costs and to request a quote for services.

For instance replay attacks occur when the remote control signal is recorded, and then repeated to the device at a later time. This can be avoided by adding an algorithm to the keyless entry system that ensures each transmission is unique from the previous one.
