Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) are equipped with an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When they are placed in a car that is equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits an unintentional signal to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to protect cars from theft and that is why they are in use in many modern vehicles.
In World War II, coded messages were transmitted via radio frequencies to determine if an aircraft was friendly or hostile. The same idea was later used to create car keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, all new cars are equipped with these keys, and they're also popular for older models that are retrofitted to include the transponder chip.
If your vehicle has this type of security, you must always have a spare key, as the chip can only function properly if it's been scanned. It's not foolproof. There are some who have discovered ways to trick the system. There are kits and tutorials on how to bypass the transponder by using electrical relays and wires.
Proximity Keys
Proximity keys are among the most recent keyless entry innovations, which are becoming more popular on a variety of vehicles. They let drivers unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle with the key fob in their pocket or bag. The key fob connects to the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers and allowing it to start.
However proximity key systems do have some drawbacks. If the key fob is damaged or lost the fob isn't usable to start the vehicle. It can be costly to get a locksmith replace it. Batteries also provide power to the fobs, so they'll need to be changed 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. If you use a conventional key and the lock opens, you are aware 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 these disadvantages the proximity keys are a great innovation for those who wish to avoid locking themselves out of their cars. If you own a proximity key, you should always have a backup key in case of an emergency. If you need a replacement key, you can contact your local Pop-A-Lock store to inquire about the cost of replacements and also to request a quotation for services.
Keyless Entry Systems
The days of storing keys outside of the home are long gone, and landlords can give tenants more security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are synchronized with back-end software that allows the landlord to monitor entry and exit. Additionally, these systems make it simpler for tenants to enter the property in case of a crisis.
Keyless entry works by sending encrypted signals to the receiver inside the car. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks your car or starts it. It can also detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust the vehicle settings to accommodate their needs. For instance, if the driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will detect this and shut the doors.
While most keyless entry systems are incredibly safe, some are vulnerable to attacks. A replay attack, for example occurs when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and transmitted again at a later point. This can be avoided by creating an algorithm for the keyless entry system to ensure that each transmission is distinct from the previous one.
A keyless entry system has the advantage that it does not require you to replace locks every when a tenant leaves. It's expensive to replace locks every time a tenant moves out and it is therefore sensible that landlords try to avoid this expense as much as is possible. With a keyless system, all you have to do is reset the code. This is a lot faster and easier than replacing the lock.
Key Replacement
Having spare car keys can ease the burden and expense of having to pay for the replacement of a remote or key in the event that you lose one. They are typically much less than a replacement key purchased from dealers and can be fitted at any time. This is the perfect option if you have lost your original key or if it is damaged beyond repair.
