Transponder Keys

Unlike 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 within their key heads. When they are fitted into a car which uses transponder technology the chip sends an unintentional signal to a receiver near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to send this signal, it will cause the engine to start. Transponder chips were designed to prevent car thieves and that is why they are used in most modern vehicles.

Transponder technology was first utilized in World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether the aircraft that was incoming was friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, most new cars are equipped with them, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to include the transponder chip.

If your car has this kind of security, then it is recommended to always have an extra key, as the chip can only function effectively if it's scanned. However, this isn't foolproof, and some people have found ways to trick the transponder system, including tutorials and kits that explain how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity keys

Proximity Keys are the newest keyless entry technology that is becoming popular in a variety vehicles. The key fob can be stored in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob then connects to the car, disengaging the immobiliser and allowing the engine to start.

A locksmith or a dealership will need to replace it, and this could be costly. The fobs are also powered by batteries, so they'll require to be replaced from time to time.

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

Despite these disadvantages, proximity keys are a fantastic option for those who want to avoid locking themselves out their vehicles. If you own a proximity key, make sure you always keep a backup key in case of an emergency. If you require a new key, call your local Pop-A-Lock store to inquire about the cost of replacements and to receive a price for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding keys in the home are over and landlords can provide tenants with better security by installing the keyless entry system. These systems are connected to a back-end program and permit landlords to keep track of entry and exit. In addition, these systems make it easier for tenants to access the property in the event an emergency.

Keyless entry works by transmitting encrypted signals the car's receiver. The receiver then responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust the vehicle settings to accommodate their needs. For example, if the driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will recognize this and automatically close the doors.

Some keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks even though they're generally very secure. A replay attack, for example, is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and transmitted again at a later point. This can be avoided by adding an algorithm to the keyless entry system that makes sure that every transmission is different from previous ones.

Another advantage of a keyless entry system is that it doesn't need to change locks after each tenant's turnover. This is a costly part of the process for converting units and it is logical for landlords to avoid this expense as much as possible. Moreover when using a keyless entry system, all that is required is resetting the code, which is faster and less costly than replacing the entire lock.
