Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) contain an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When they are placed in a car that is equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits an unintentional signal to a receiver situated close to the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to stop car thieves from stealing cars and that is why they are present in a majority of modern vehicles.

In World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, they've been used on the majority of new cars and are also retrofitted to older models.

If you have a car that has this type of security system, make sure you always keep a spare transponder key on hand, since it will only work if the chip is scanned correctly. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some people have discovered methods to fool the transponder system. These include tutorials and kits that describe how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are one of the most recent keyless entry technology, and are becoming more popular in 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 and allowing the engine to start.

There are some disadvantages for proximity key systems however. If the fob of your key is damaged or Skoda Replacement Key lost, it is unable to be used to start your vehicle. It's costly to get a locksmith replace it. Batteries also provide power to the fobs, so they'll have to be replaced often.

If you're using 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 these downsides proximity keys are a great option for drivers who want to prevent locking themselves out of their cars. In the event of an emergency, make sure you have an emergency key with you if you own a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop A Lock store for a quote on the services and costs.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding keys in the home are long gone and landlords can now provide tenants with better security by installing keys-free entry systems. These systems sync with back-end software that allows landlords to track the entry and exit of tenants. These systems also help tenants who are in crisis to get into the property.

Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal, unlocks or begins your car. It also can detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to meet their needs. For instance, if the driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will detect this and close the doors.

Some keyless entry systems can be prone to attacks, even though they're generally extremely secure. For instance, a replay attack is when the initial remote control signal is recorded and sent again to the device at a later point. However, this could be prevented by including in the keyless entry system a method which ensures that each transmission is different from all previous ones.
