Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to responder and transmitter) contain an electronic chip within their heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle that has transponder technology, the chip sends a low-level signal to a receiver situated near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips were developed to prevent car thieves and that is why they are used in most modern cars.

Transponder technology first came into use during World War II, when encoded messages were sent 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, transponder keys are present on all new cars, and can also be retrofitted to older models.

If you own a car that has this type of security system, you must always have an extra transponder card on hand, since it will only work only if the chip has been scanned properly. However, this isn't foolproof and some people have discovered ways to fool the transponder system. This includes tutorials and kits that show how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are among the most recent keyless entry solutions, which are gaining popularity on a number of vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their cars by touching the door handle with the key fob in their bag or pocket. The key fob will then communicate with the car, removing the immobiliser and allowing the engine to start.

There are a few drawbacks with proximity key systems though. If the fob of your key is damaged or lost, it is unable to be used to start your car. It can be costly to find a locksmith or a dealership to replace it. Batteries also power the fobs, so they'll have to be replaced often.


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 you use a traditional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. You'll need to be within a certain distance to activate proximity-sensing key.

Despite their downsides proximity keys are an amazing tool for drivers who do not want to be locked out of their car. In case of emergency, always have an emergency key with you if you own a proximity-key. If you require a replacement key, you can contact your local Pop-A-Lock to learn about the cost of replacements and also to request a quotation for services.

For for beginners occurs when the original remote control signal is recorded and then transmitted to the device at a later date. However, this could be stopped by adding to the keyless entry system an algorithm which ensures that each transmission is different from the previous ones.
