Transponder Keys
Contrary to the flat metal keys which are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys have an electronic microchip in their key heads. When they are fitted into a car that is equipped with transponder technology the chip sends an low-level signal to the receiver situated near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start, when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips were developed to deter car thieves and that is why they are used in most modern vehicles.
Transponder technology was first introduced during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether aircraft incoming were friendly or hostile. The same idea was later used to create car keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they are present on all new cars, and can also be retrofitted into older models.
If you own a vehicle that has this type of security system, make sure you always keep an extra transponder key on hand, as it will only work only if the chip has been scanned properly. It isn't foolproof. There are some who have discovered ways to fool the system. They include kits and tutorials that explain how to disable the transponder by using electrical relays and wires.
Proximity Keys
Proximity keys are among the most recent keyless entry innovations, which are gaining popularity 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 purse or pocket. The key fob connects to the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers and allows it to start.
However proximity key systems do have some drawbacks. If the key fob becomes damaged or lost, it can't 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, and so they'll have to be replaced every now and then.
Another drawback to proximity key technology is that it breaks the cause/effect process we're familiar with using 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 proximity-sensing key.
Despite these disadvantages proximity keys are a great option for drivers who want to prevent locking themselves out of their vehicles. If you have a proximity key, it is recommended to always keep a backup key in case of an emergency. Contact your local Pop-A Lock to get a quote for services and prices.
Keyless Entry Systems
The days of hiding keys in the home are over and landlords can provide tenants with better security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are synced with back-end software, which allows landlords to monitor the entry and exit of tenants. These systems also allow tenants in a crisis to get into the property.
Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver receives the signal and opens or turns off your car. It can also detect a driver's presence and adjust the car's settings according to their preferences. It will automatically close the door, for instance the driver is carrying an item in his hand.
Certain keyless entry systems may be vulnerable to attacks even though they are very safe. A replay attack, for example is when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded, and then transmitted again at a later date. However, this could be prevented by including in the keyless entry system an algorithm which ensures that each transmission is different from the previous ones.
Another benefit of the keyless entry system is that it does not require changing locks after every tenant's move. It's costly to change locks following every turnover of a tenant and therefore it is sensible that landlords avoid this cost as much as they can. Furthermore when using a keyless entry system all that is needed is resetting the code, which is faster and less expensive than replacing the entire lock.
Replacement Keys
Having spare car keys can help you avoid the stress and expense of having to pay for a new key or remote in the event of losing one. The spares are usually significantly less than the replacement key purchased from a dealer and can be installed at any time. This is a great solution if you have lost your original key or has been damaged beyond repair.
