Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to responder and transmitter) include an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle that is equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits a low-level signal to a receiver near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to transmit this signal it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips are designed to guard against theft of cars and that is why the majority of modern vehicles have them.
Transponder technology was first introduced during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted on radio frequencies to determine whether the aircraft that was incoming was friendly or hostile. The same concept was later used to create car keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in the year 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, all new cars come with keys that have transponder chips, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with the transponder chip.
If you own a car with this type of security system, you must always keep an extra transponder key at hand, as it will only work when the chip is read correctly. It isn't foolproof. There are some who have discovered ways to fool this system. These kits include tutorials that explain how to disable the transponder with electrical relays and wires.
Proximity keys
Proximity keys are the latest keyless entry technologies, which are becoming more popular in a variety of vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle using the key fob that is in their bag or pocket. The key fob connects to the vehicle, removing immobilisers from the vehicle and allowing it to start.
There are a few drawbacks with proximity key systems though. If the key fob is damaged or lost it isn't able to start the vehicle. It can be costly to have a locksmith or dealership replace it. Batteries also provide power to the fobs. So they'll need to be changed often.
Another drawback of proximity key technology is that it breaks the cause/effect process we're used to with physical keys. If you're using a traditional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. You must be within a specific distance to activate proximity-sensing key.
Despite these drawbacks, proximity keys are a fantastic option for those who wish to avoid locking themselves out their cars. In the event of an emergency, make sure you have an extra key in case you have a proximity-key. If you need a new key, call your local Pop-A-Lock to learn about the cost of replacements and to receive a price for services.
Keyless Entry Systems
The days of hiding a spare key outside the home are over and landlords can offer tenants better security by installing the keyless entry system. These systems are connected to back-end programs and allow landlords to track entry and exit. In addition, these systems make it simpler for tenants to access the property in case of a crisis.
Keyless entry systems work by transmitting encrypted signals an internal receiver within the car. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It can also recognize the presence of a driver and adjust the vehicle's settings according to their preferences. It will automatically close the door if, for example, the driver has a bag in his hands.
Certain keyless entry systems may be prone to attacks, even though they are generally very safe. A replay attack, for instance, is when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and then sent to a different location at a later time. This can be prevented by adding an algorithm to the keyless entry system, which ensures that every transmission is distinct from previous ones.
Keyless entry also offers the benefit that it does not require you to replace locks each when a tenant leaves. It's expensive to replace locks following every turnover of a tenant and therefore it is sensible that landlords avoid this expense as much as they can. Furthermore with a keyless access system all that is required is resetting the key, which is faster and simpler than replacing the entire lock.
