Transponder Keys

Instead of flat metal keys that operate mechanically 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 they are placed in a car that uses 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 are made to prevent car theft, which is why most modern vehicles use them.

In World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine if an aircraft was friendly or hostile. The same idea was later applied to car keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they've been present on all new cars, and can also be retrofitted to older models.

If you own a vehicle equipped with this kind of security system, make sure you always have an extra transponder keys on hand, as it will only work only if the chip has been scanned correctly. This isn't 100% secure. There are some who have discovered ways to fool this system. They include kits and tutorials on how to bypass the transponder using wires and electrical relays.

Proximity Keys

Proximity Keys are the newest keyless entry technology that is becoming popular across a variety of vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their cars by simply touching the door handle using the key fob they carry in their pocket or bag. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, removing immobilisers and allows it to start.

However, for beginners have some disadvantages. If the key fob is lost or damaged it isn't able to start the vehicle. A locksmith or dealership will have to replace it, and this can be expensive. Batteries also power the fobs, so they'll need to be replaced frequently.

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 insert a traditional key and the lock opens, you are aware that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys, you'll need to be within a certain distance from the vehicle to activate it.

Despite their drawbacks proximity keys are an amazing tool for drivers who aren't looking to be locked out of their car. If you have a proximity key, it is recommended to always have a spare key on hand in case of an emergency. Contact your local Pop-Alock to get a quote for services and costs.

Keyless Entry Systems

These systems are synchronized to back-end software, allowing landlords to monitor the entry and exit. These systems are linked to back-end programs, allowing the landlord to monitor entry and exit. Additionally these systems make it easier for tenants to enter the property in the event of a crisis.

A keyless entry system works by transmitting encrypted signals a receiver inside the car. The receiver detects the signal and then unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust settings to suit their preferences. It will shut the door if, for example, the driver has a bag in his hands.

Certain keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks even though they're generally very safe. A replay attack, for example occurs when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and then sent again at a later point. However, this could be prevented by incorporating into the keyless entry system a method that ensures each transmission differs from all previous ones.

Another benefit of a keyless entry system is that it doesn't require changing the locks after each tenant's departure. This is a costly part of the process of transferring units and it is sensible for landlords to reduce this expense as often as feasible. With a keyless system all you need to do is reset the code. This is a lot faster and easier than replacing the lock.
