Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to responder and transmitter) contain an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When the key is inserted into a vehicle equipped with transponder tech it sends an informational low-level message to the receiver that is located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so, it will cause the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are made to guard against theft of cars, which is why most modern cars have them.
Transponder technology was first introduced during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine if aircraft arriving were 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 incorporate them.
If you own a vehicle equipped with this type of security system, make sure you always have an extra transponder keys on hand, as it will only work if the chip is scanned properly. However, G28CarKeys isn't foolproof and some have discovered methods to fool the transponder system, such as tutorials and kits that explain how to bypass it using electrical relays and wiring.
Proximity keys
Proximity keys are the most recent keyless entry technology that is becoming popular across a variety of vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their cars by simply touching the door handle using the key fob, which is kept in their bag or pocket. The key fob then communicates with the car, disengaging the immobiliser and allowing the engine to start.
There are some downsides to proximity key systems, though. If the fob of your key is damaged or lost, it can't be used to start your car. It could be expensive to hire a locksmith or dealer to replace it. Batteries also power the fobs, which means they'll need to be replaced 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. In the case of a traditional lock, when you press the lock and it opens, you know that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys you'll need to be within a certain distance from the vehicle to activate it.
Despite their downsides however, proximity keys are an amazing invention for those who aren't looking to be locked out of their car. If you own a proximity key, make sure you always keep a backup on hand in case of emergency. Contact your local Pop-Alock for a quote on services and costs.
Keyless Entry Systems
These systems are synchronized to back-end software that allows landlords to keep track of both exit and entry. These systems are connected to back-end programs and allow landlords to track entry and exit. These systems also aid tenants in emergency to gain access to the property.
Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver then interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust the vehicle settings to suit their preferences. For example, if a driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will detect this and shut the doors.
Certain keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks, even though they are very secure. A replay attack, for instance occurs when the remote control signal from the device is recorded, and then transmitted again at a later date. However, this could be prevented by incorporating into the keyless entry system an algorithm that ensures each transmission differs from previous ones.
Keyless entry systems also offers the benefit that it does not require you to replace the locks every time a tenant moves out. This is a costly part of the process for converting units and it is logical for landlords to save money whenever feasible. Moreover when using a keyless entry system, all that is required is resetting the key, which is a lot faster and less expensive than replacing the entire lock.
