Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau for responder and transmitter) contain an electronic chip inside their heads. When they are placed in a car that is equipped with transponder technology the chip sends low-level signals to a receiver located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to transmit this signal, it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips are made to stop theft of cars, which is why most modern vehicles use them.

During World War II, coded messages were transmitted via radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was friendly or hostile. The same idea was later used to create car keys in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, the majority of new vehicles come equipped with them, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with them.

If you have a car equipped with this type of security system, you should always have an extra transponder key in your car, as it only works if the chip is scanned correctly. It isn't foolproof. There are some who have discovered ways to fool this system. There are kits and tutorials on how to bypass the transponder with wires and electrical relays.

Proximity Keys

Proximity Keys are the newest keyless entry technology that is becoming popular in a variety of automobiles. The key fob is put in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob then communicates with the car, removing the immobiliser while allowing the engine to begin.

There are a few disadvantages with proximity key systems however. If the key fob is lost or damaged the fob isn't usable to start the vehicle. It can be costly to get a locksmith replace it. The fobs are also powered by batteries, and so they'll need to be replaced from time to time.

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

Despite their disadvantages however, proximity keys are a great invention for drivers who do not want to lock themselves out of their vehicle. If you have a proximity key, you should always keep a backup in the event of an emergency. If you need a replacement key, you can contact your local Pop-A-Lock store to inquire about replacement costs and to receive a price for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding a spare key outside the home are long gone and landlords can now give tenants more security by installing keys-free entry systems. These systems are synced with back-end programs, allowing landlords to track entry and exit. These systems also help tenants who are in emergency to gain access to the property.

A keyless entry system transmits encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to accommodate their needs. For example, if a driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will be able to detect this and shut the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems could be prone to attacks, even though they are generally very secure. A replay attack, for instance, is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded, and then transmitted again at a later date. However, this could be thwarted by including in the keyless entry system an algorithm that ensures that every transmission is distinct from previous ones.

A keyless entry system has the advantage that it does not require you to replace the locks each when a tenant leaves. This is a cost-effective part of the unit turnover process, and it makes sense for landlords to avoid this expense as much as feasible. With a keyless lock, all you have to do is reset the code. This is a lot quicker and simpler than replacing the lock.
