Transponder Keys

Contrary to the flat metal keys which are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip within their key heads. When the key is inserted into an automobile equipped with transponder technology the chip sends a low-level message to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to begin, provided that it is programmed to it. Transponder chips are made to prevent car theft and that is why the majority of modern cars use them.

Transponder technology was first used in World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. The same concept was later applied to keys for cars, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they are standard on most new vehicles and are also retrofitted to older models.


If you own a vehicle with this type of security system, you should always have an extra transponder key on hand, as it will only work when the chip is read correctly. But this isn't 100% secure and some people have discovered ways to fool the transponder system, including tutorials and kits that explain how to bypass it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are the newest keyless entry solutions, which are now being used on a number of vehicles. They let drivers unlock their cars by simply touching the door handle with the key fob, which is kept in their pocket or bag. The key fob connects to the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers and allows it to start.

There are a few drawbacks for proximity key systems though. If the fob of your key is damaged or lost, it is unable to be used to start your vehicle. A locksmith or a dealership will have to replace it, which could be costly. The fobs are also powered by batteries, which means they'll have to be replaced regularly.

Another disadvantage of proximity key technology is that it breaks the cause/effect process we're familiar with when using physical keys. If you use a conventional key and the lock opens, you are aware that you have the key. You'll need to be within a specified distance to activate proximity-sensing key.

Despite their drawbacks proximity keys are an amazing tool for drivers who aren't looking to lock themselves out of their vehicle. If you have a proximity key, it is recommended to always have a backup key in case of emergency. If you need a replacement key, call the local Pop-A Lock to inquire about prices for replacements and to receive a price for services.

These systems are synced to a back-end program and permit landlords to track entry and exit. In addition, these systems make it simpler for tenants to get into the property in case an emergency.

A keyless entry system sends encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust settings to accommodate their preferences. It will automatically shut the door, for instance the driver has an item in his hand.

Certain keyless entry systems can be prone to attacks, despite being very safe. For instance, a replay attack is when the initial remote control signal is recorded and then sent back to the device at a later point. This can be avoided by incorporating an algorithm into the keyless entry system that ensures each transmission is unique from previous ones.

Keyless entry also offers the benefit that it doesn't require you to change locks each when a tenant moves out. This is an expensive part of the process for converting units and it is sensible for landlords to save money whenever it is possible. Moreover when using a keyless entry system all that is needed is resetting the key, which is much quicker and less expensive than replacing the entire lock.
