Transponder Keys
Contrary to the flat metal keys which work mechanically using cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys have an electronic microchip embedded in their key heads. When inserted into a car that is equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits an low-level signal to the receiver located close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to send this signal it will trigger the engine to start. Transponder chips were designed to protect cars from theft This is the reason they are used in most modern vehicles.
Transponder technology was first introduced in World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine if incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. The same concept was later applied to keys for cars, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, most new vehicles come equipped with them, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with the transponder chip.
If your car is equipped with this kind of security, then you should always have a spare key, as the chip will only work properly if it is scanned. This is not foolproof. Some people have found ways to fool this system. There are kits and tutorials on how to bypass the transponder with electrical relays and wires.
Proximity keys
Proximity keys are among the most recent keyless entry technologies, which are gaining popularity on a number of vehicles. The key fob is carried in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob then communicates with the car, disengaging the immobiliser and allowing for the engine to begin.
There are some downsides with proximity key systems though. If the key fob is lost or damaged it isn't able to start the vehicle. It could be expensive to have a locksmith or dealership replace it. The fobs are also powered by batteries, and so they'll require to be replaced regularly.
The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of breaking the cause-and-effect cycle we are familiar with when using physical keys. With a traditional key, it's when you press the lock and it opens, you know you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys, you'll have to be within a certain distance of the car to activate it.
Despite these disadvantages proximity keys are a fantastic option for drivers who want to keep themselves from locking out of their cars. If you own a proximity key, it is recommended to always keep a backup in case of an emergency. If you need a new key, contact the local Pop-A Lock to inquire about the cost of 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 provide tenants with better security by installing the keyless entry system. These systems sync to a back-end program and permit landlords to keep track of entry and exit. Additionally these systems make it simpler for tenants to get into the property in case of a crisis.
A keyless entry system transmits encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver then interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect a driver's presence and adjust the vehicle settings in accordance with their preferences. It will shut the door, for instance, the driver has a bag in his hands.
While most keyless entry systems are incredibly secure, some are susceptible to attack. For example a replay attack occurs where the original remote control signal is recorded and then repeated to the device at a later date. This can be prevented by adding an algorithm to the keyless entry system that makes sure that each transmission is distinct from the previous ones.
Keyless entry systems also offers the benefit of not having to does not require you to replace the locks each time a tenant is moved out. This is an expensive part of the unit turnover process and it is sensible for landlords to save money whenever feasible.
