Transponder Keys

Contrary to the flat metal keys which operate mechanically by cutting the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys have an electronic microchip in their key heads. When the key is put into a vehicle that utilizes transponder technology the chip transmits a low-level message to a receiver near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to send this signal it will trigger the engine to switch on. Transponder chips are designed to stop theft of cars, which is why most modern cars use them.

During World War II, coded messages were broadcast over radio frequencies in order to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same concept was later applied to keys for cars, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in the year 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, a majority of new vehicles are equipped with them, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with them.

If you have a car equipped with this type of security system, you should always keep an extra transponder keys in your car, as it only works in the event that the chip is scanned correctly. However, this isn't foolproof and some people have discovered ways to evade the transponder system. These include tutorials and kits that describe how to reprogram skoda key fob to bypass it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity Keys are among the latest keyless entry innovations that are becoming popular in a variety of automobiles. They permit drivers to unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle using the key fob, which is kept in their pocket or bag. The key fob connects to the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers and allows it to begin.

There are a few disadvantages to proximity key systems though. If the key fob is lost or damaged the fob isn't usable to start the vehicle. A locksmith or the dealership will have to replace it, which can be expensive. Batteries also provide power to the fobs, so they'll need to be changed regularly.

Another drawback of proximity keys technology is that it breaks the cause-and-effect loop we're familiar with when it comes to physical keys. If you're using a traditional key and the lock opens, you are aware that you have the key. You'll need to be within a specific distance to activate the proximity-sensing key.

Despite their drawbacks the proximity key technology is an excellent invention for drivers who aren't looking to be locked out of their car. In the event of an emergency, keep an additional key on hand if you own a proximity key. If you need a replacement key, you can contact your local Pop-Alock to inquire about the cost of replacements and to get a quote for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys outside of the home are over, and landlords can offer tenants better security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems sync with back-end software, which allows landlords to track entry and exit. These systems also aid tenants in times of 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 starts your car. It also detects the presence of a driver and adjust the vehicle settings in accordance with their preferences. For example, if a driver is carrying a bag in their hands, the system will recognize this and then automatically shut the doors.

While the majority of keyless entry systems are secure, some are susceptible to attacks. A replay attack, for instance, is when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and transmitted again 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 all previous ones.

Another benefit of a keyless entry system is that it does not require changing the locks after each tenant's turnover. It's expensive to replace locks every time a tenant moves out, so it makes sense that landlords stay away from this expense as much as they can. If you have a keyless system, all you need to do is reset the code. This is much faster and easier than replacing the lock.
