Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) include an electronic chip within their heads. When they are fitted into a car which uses transponder technology the chip transmits an unintentional signal to a receiver near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to begin, when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are made to prevent car theft This is the reason that most modern vehicles use them.
During World War II, coded messages were transmitted via radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same concept was later applied to keys for cars and keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, all new cars come with them, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with the transponder chip.
If you own a vehicle with this type of security system, you should always keep an extra transponder card at hand, as it will only work in the event that the chip is scanned correctly. But this isn't 100% secure and some people have discovered ways to fool the transponder system, such as tutorials and kits that explain how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.
Proximity keys
Proximity keys are among the most recent keyless entry technology, and are becoming popular on a number of vehicles. They let drivers unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle with the key fob in their bag or pocket. The key fob then connects to the car, disengaging the immobiliser, allowing the engine to start.
However proximity key systems come with certain disadvantages. If the fob of your key is damaged or lost, it cannot be used to start your car. A locksmith or dealership will need to replace it, which can be expensive. Batteries also provide power to the fobs, so they'll need to be changed regularly.
The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of breaking the cause and effect cycle that we are all used to when using physical keys. With a traditional key when you press the lock and it opens, you'll know you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys, you'll have to be within a certain distance of the vehicle to activate it.
Despite their downsides proximity keys are a great invention for drivers who aren't looking to lock themselves out of their car. If you have a proximity key, you should always keep a backup key in case of an emergency. If you need a new key, you can contact your local Pop-A-Lock to learn about replacement costs and also to request a quotation for services.
Keyless Entry Systems
These systems are synchronized to back-end software, allowing landlords to keep track of the entry and exit. These systems are connected to back-end software, allowing the landlord to monitor entry and exit. Furthermore these systems make it simpler for tenants to get into the property in the event of a crisis.
A keyless entry system sends encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver then detects the signal and then unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect a driver's presence and adjust the vehicle settings in accordance with their preferences. It will automatically shut the door, for instance, the driver has an item in his hand.
Although most keyless entry systems are incredibly secure, some are susceptible to attack. For example replay attacks occur where the original remote control signal is recorded and then sent again to the device at a later point. However, this could be stopped by adding to the keyless entry system a method that ensures each transmission differs from the previous ones.
Keyless entry also has the advantage that it doesn't require you to change locks each time a tenant moves out. It's expensive to replace locks following every turnover of a tenant and it is therefore sensible that landlords try to avoid this expense as much as possible. If you have a keyless system, all you need to do is reset the code. This is much faster and less costly than replacing the lock.
