Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to transmitter and responder) have an electronic chip inside their heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle that uses transponder technology, the chip transmits an low-level signal to the receiver located near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start, if it is programmed for it. Transponder chips were designed to stop car thieves from stealing cars and that is why they are in use in many modern vehicles.
During World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies in order to determine if an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same idea was later applied to car keys in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, transponder keys are commonplace on new vehicles, and can also be retrofitted to older models.
If you own a vehicle with this type of security system, it is recommended to always have an extra transponder keys in your car, as it will only work only if the chip has been scanned correctly. It's not foolproof. Some people have found ways to fool the system. These kits include tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder with electrical relays and wires.
Proximity Keys
Proximity keys are the latest keyless entry technologies, which are gaining popularity in a variety of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their car by merely touching the door handle using the key fob, which is kept in their purse or pocket. The key fob will then communicate with the car, disengaging the immobiliser, allowing the engine to start.
There are a few drawbacks for proximity key systems however. If the key fob gets damaged or lost, it is unable to be used to start your vehicle. It can be costly to hire a locksmith or dealer to replace it. Batteries also provide power to the fobs. So they'll need to be replaced periodically.
The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of breaking the cause and effect cycle that we are all used to when using physical keys. If you're using a traditional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. You'll need to be within a specified distance to activate a proximity-sensing keys.
Despite these limitations, proximity keys are a fantastic invention for drivers who want to prevent locking themselves out of their cars. In the event of an emergency, keep a backup key handy if you have a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop A Lock store for a quote on the services and costs.
Keyless Entry Systems
These systems are synchronized with back-end software, which allows landlords to keep track of entry and exit. These systems sync to a back-end program and permit the landlord to monitor entry and exit. These systems also make it easier for tenants who are in situation of crisis to access the property.
A keyless entry system transmits encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks or begins your car. It also detects the presence of a driver and adjust the settings of the vehicle in accordance with their preferences. For instance, if the driver is carrying a bag in their hands, the system will recognize this and close the doors.
While the majority of keyless entry systems are extremely secure, some are susceptible to attack. A replay attack, for instance is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and sent again at a later date. However, this could be thwarted by including in the keyless entry system a method that guarantees that each transmission is distinct from all previous ones.
Another benefit of the keyless entry system is that it doesn't need to change locks after every tenant turnover. It can be costly to replace locks after every tenant turnover and it is therefore sensible that landlords avoid this expense as much as they can. Furthermore when using a keyless entry system all that is needed is to reset the code, which is a lot faster and simpler than replacing the entire lock.
