Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau for transmitter and responder) have an electronic chip in their heads. When the key is inserted into a vehicle that utilizes transponder technology it sends an insignificant message 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 prevent car theft, which is why most modern cars use them.

Transponder technology first came into use in World War II, when encoded messages were sent over radio frequencies to determine whether aircraft incoming were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, transponder keys are used on the majority of new cars and are also retrofitted to older models.

If your car is equipped with this security feature, it is recommended to always have an extra key, as the chip will only work effectively if it's scanned. It's not foolproof. Some people have found ways to fool the system. There are kits and tutorials on how to bypass the transponder using wires and electrical relays.

Proximity Keys

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

However proximity key systems have certain disadvantages. If the key fob becomes damaged or lost, it can't be used to start your vehicle. A locksmith or the dealership will need to replace it, and this could be costly. Batteries also power the fobs, so they'll require replacing frequently.

The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of removing the cause-and-effect cycle that we are all used to when using physical keys. When using a traditional key, when you press the lock and it opens, you'll know that you have the key. You'll need to be within a specific distance to activate proximity-sensing key.

Despite their drawbacks, proximity key technology is a great invention for drivers who do not want to be locked out of their vehicle. In case of emergencies, always keep an additional key on hand if you own a proximity-key. If you require a new key, contact your local Pop-Alock to inquire about the cost of replacements and to request a quote for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding keys outside of the home are long gone, and landlords can offer tenants better security by installing keys-free entry systems. These systems are linked to back-end software that allows landlords to keep track of the process of entry and exit. These systems also make it easier for tenants in a emergency to gain access to the property.

A keyless entry system sends encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks or begins your car. It can also detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to accommodate their needs. It will shut the door, for instance the driver is carrying bags in his hands.

Some keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks even though they are generally extremely secure. For instance the term replay attack refers to when the original remote control signal is recorded and transmitted to the device at a later date. This can be avoided by creating an algorithm for the keyless entry system, which ensures that every transmission is different from previous ones.

Another benefit of the keyless entry system is that it doesn't require changing locks after every tenant's move. It's expensive to replace locks following every turnover of a tenant, so it makes sense that landlords cut down on this expense as much as possible. With a keyless lock, all you need to do is reset the code. This is a lot quicker and simpler than replacing the lock.
