Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) contain an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When the key is put into a vehicle equipped with transponder tech it sends an unintentional 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 were created to stop car thieves from stealing cars, which is why they are present in a majority of modern vehicles.

Transponder technology first came into use during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted on radio frequencies to determine whether the aircraft that was incoming was friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, all new cars are equipped with them, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with the transponder chip.

If you own a vehicle that has this type of security system, it is recommended to always keep an extra transponder card on hand, as it will only work when the chip is read properly. But this isn't 100% secure, and some people have found ways to trick the transponder system, such as tutorials and kits that describe how to start skoda superb with key to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity keys

Proximity keys are the most recent keyless entry technology that is becoming popular in a variety vehicles. The key fob can be carried in a pocket, or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob then communicates with the car, removing the immobiliser and allowing for the engine to start.

However proximity key systems do have some drawbacks. If the key fob is lost or damaged, it can't be used to start the car. It's expensive to hire a locksmith or dealer to replace it. Batteries also power the fobs, so they'll require replacing periodically.

The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of removing the cause-and-effect cycle we are used to when using physical keys. If you're using a traditional key and the lock opens, you are aware that you have the key. You must be within a certain distance to activate the proximity-sensing key.

Despite these disadvantages, proximity keys are a fantastic invention for those who want to avoid locking themselves out their cars. If you own a proximity key, it is recommended to always have a backup key on hand in the event of an emergency. Contact your local Pop-A-Lock for a quote on services and prices.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding a spare key outside the home are over and landlords can give tenants more security by installing keys-free entry systems. These systems are synced to back-end software and allow landlords to monitor entrance and exit. These systems also allow tenants who are in crisis to get into the property.

A keyless entry system transmits encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver reads the signal and opens or turns off your car. It also can detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust settings to meet their needs. It will shut the door if, for example the driver is carrying a bag in his hands.

Some keyless entry systems can be prone to attacks, even though they are generally extremely secure. A replay attack, for instance is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and transmitted to a different location at a later time. However, this could be thwarted by including in the keyless entry system an algorithm that guarantees that each transmission is distinct from previous ones.

Another benefit of the keyless entry system is that it doesn't require the replacement of locks following each tenant's departure. It's expensive to replace locks for every tenant turnover, so it makes sense that landlords try to avoid this expense as much as is possible. Additionally, with a keyless entry system, all that is required is resetting the key, which is much quicker and easier than replacing the entire lock.
