Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (a portmanteau for responder and transmitter) include an electronic chip in their heads. When the key is inserted into a vehicle that utilizes transponder tech, the chip sends out an insignificant message to a receiver located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to send this signal it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips are made to stop theft of cars which is why a majority of modern vehicles use them.
During World War II, coded messages were sent over radio frequencies in order to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, the majority of new cars are equipped with them, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to incorporate the transponder chip.
If you own a vehicle that has this type of security system, it is recommended to always have an extra transponder key in your car, as it will only work only if the chip has been scanned properly. It isn't foolproof. Some people have found ways to fool this system. There are kits and tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder by using wires and electrical relays.
Proximity Keys
Proximity Keys are one of the newest technology for keyless entry that is becoming popular in a variety of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their car by merely touching the door handle with the key fob, which is kept in their purse or pocket. The key fob connects to the vehicle, removing immobilisers from the vehicle and allows it to start.
There are some disadvantages for proximity key systems though. If the key fob is damaged or lost it won't be able to start the vehicle. A locksmith or a dealership will have to replace it, which could be costly. Batteries also provide power to the fobs. So G28CarKeys 'll need to be replaced 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. When using a traditional key, when you press 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 drawbacks the proximity key technology is an amazing tool for drivers who aren't looking to lock themselves out of their vehicle. In the event of an emergency, always have a backup key handy if you own a proximity key. If you require a new key, call your local Pop-Alock to inquire about prices for replacements and also to request a quotation for services.
Keyless Entry Systems
The days of storing a spare key outside the home are over and landlords can provide tenants with better security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems are connected to a back-end program and permit landlords to keep track of entry and exit. These systems also help tenants who are in crisis to enter the property.
A keyless entry system works by transmitting encrypted signals the receiver inside the car. The receiver then responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust settings to suit their preferences. It will automatically shut the door if, for example, the driver has an item in his bag.
Although most keyless entry systems are safe, some are vulnerable to attacks. A replay attack, for example occurs when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and then sent again at a later time. However, this can be stopped by adding to the keyless entry system an algorithm which ensures that each transmission is different from previous ones.
Keyless entry systems also offers the benefit of not having to doesn't require you to change locks every when a tenant leaves. It is expensive to change locks every time a tenant moves out and therefore it is sensible that landlords try to avoid this expense as much as is possible. With a keyless system, all you need to do is reset the code. This is a lot faster and simpler than replacing the lock.
