Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) contain an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When the key is inserted into an automobile equipped with transponder tech the chip transmits an insignificant message to a receiver near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this it will trigger the engine to switch on. Transponder chips were created to prevent car thieves which is why they are used in most modern vehicles.

In World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies in order to determine if an aircraft was friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, the majority of new cars are equipped with keys that have transponder chips, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with them.

If your vehicle has this type of security, it is recommended to always have an extra key, as the chip will only work effectively if it's scanned. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some people have discovered methods to fool the transponder system. This includes tutorials and kits that describe how to bypass it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are among the most recent keyless entry innovations, which are gaining popularity on a variety of vehicles. The key fob can be stored in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob then connects to the car, disengaging the immobiliser while allowing the engine to begin.

However proximity key systems do have certain disadvantages. If the key fob is lost or damaged the fob isn't usable to start the car. A locksmith or dealership will need to replace it, which could be costly. Batteries also power the fobs, which means they'll have to be replaced periodically.

Another drawback of proximity keys technology is that it breaks the cause-and-effect cycle that we're used to with physical keys. When using a traditional key, it's when you press the lock and it opens, you know you have the key. You must be within a specified distance to activate the proximity-sensing lock.

Despite their downsides however, proximity keys are an excellent invention for drivers who aren't looking to be locked out of their vehicle. In case of emergency, always have a backup key handy if you have a proximity-key. If you require a replacement key, contact your local Pop-Alock to inquire about prices for replacements and to receive a price for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

These systems are synchronized with back-end software, which allows landlords to keep track of entry and exit. These systems are linked to back-end programs and allow the landlord to monitor entry and exit. Additionally, these systems make it simpler for tenants to access the property in case an emergency.

A keyless entry system operates by transmitting encrypted signals the car's receiver. The receiver then responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It also detects a driver's presence and adjust the vehicle settings according to their preferences. For instance, if the driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will be able to detect this and automatically close the doors.

While the majority of keyless entry systems are incredibly safe, some are vulnerable to attacks. A replay attack, for instance occurs when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and sent again at a later time. This can be prevented by creating an algorithm for the keyless entry system that ensures each transmission is distinct from the previous ones.

Another advantage of keyless entry systems is that it does not require changing the locks after each tenant's departure. This is an expensive part of the process for converting units and it is sensible for landlords to save money whenever it is possible. Moreover with a keyless entry system all that is needed is resetting the key, which is faster and easier than replacing the entire lock.
