Transponder Keys

Instead of flat metal keys that are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip within their key heads. When the key is inserted into an automobile that uses transponder tech the chip transmits a low-level message to a receiver located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to send this signal, it will cause the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are designed to stop theft of cars which is why a majority of modern cars use them.

Transponder technology first came into use in 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, they've been standard on most new vehicles and are also retrofitted to older models.

If your car is equipped with this security feature, you should always carry a spare key on hand, as the chip can only function properly if it's been scanned. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some have discovered ways to fool the transponder system. This includes tutorials and kits that show how to bypass it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity keys

Proximity Keys are among the latest keyless entry technology that is becoming popular in a variety of automobiles. They permit drivers to unlock their cars by touching the door handle with the key fob they carry in their pocket or bag. The key fob connects to the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers, and allows it to begin.

However proximity key systems have certain disadvantages. If the key fob is damaged or lost the fob isn't usable to start the car. A locksmith or the dealership will need to replace it, and this could be costly. Batteries also provide power to the fobs. So they'll have to be replaced regularly.

Another drawback of proximity keys technology is that it breaks the cause/effect process we're used to with physical keys. In the case of a traditional lock, it's 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 car to activate it.

Despite these drawbacks the proximity keys are a fantastic option for those who want to prevent locking themselves out of their cars. In case of emergency, keep a backup key handy if you own a proximity-key. If you need a replacement key, contact your local Pop-A-Lock to learn about replacement costs and to request a quote for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

These systems are synchronized to back-end software that allows landlords to keep track of the process of entry and exit. These systems sync with back-end software that allows landlords to keep track of the entry and exit of tenants. Additionally, these systems make it simpler for tenants to gain access to the property in the event of a crisis.

Keyless entry systems work by transmitting encrypted signals an internal receiver within the car. The receiver interprets the signal, unlocks your car or starts it. It also can detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust the vehicle settings to accommodate their preferences. For example, if the driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will detect this and automatically close the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems can be prone to attacks, even though they are generally very secure. For example a replay attack occurs where the original remote control signal is recorded and then transmitted to the device at a later date. This can be avoided by adding an algorithm to the keyless entry system that makes sure that every transmission is different from the previous ones.

Another benefit of the keyless entry system is that it doesn't require changing the locks after each tenant's departure. This is a cost-effective part of the process for converting units, and it makes sense for landlords to reduce this expense as often as possible. In addition with a keyless access system all that is required is resetting the key, which is a lot faster and simpler than replacing the entire lock.
