The Kamiq is Skoda’s first SUV. It has a raised ride-height and VarioFlex seating that can fold down, removed or moved to increase boot space.

Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to responder and transmitter) have an electronic chip in their heads. When inserted into a car that has transponder technology, the chip sends a low-level signal to a receiver that is located close to the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start, when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are made to protect cars from theft and that is why the majority of modern vehicles use them.

During World War II, coded messages were sent over radio frequencies to determine if an aircraft was friendly or hostile. The same concept was later applied to car keys in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in the year 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they've been commonplace on new cars, and can also be retrofitted to older models.

If you have a car with this type of security system, you must always keep a spare transponder key on hand, since it will only work only if the chip has been scanned properly. This is not foolproof. Some people have found ways to fool this system. There are kits and tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder using electrical relays and wires.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are the latest keyless entry technologies, which are now being used on a variety of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their cars by simply touching the door handle using the key fob they carry in their purse or pocket. The key fob connects to the vehicle, removing immobilisers and permitting it to start.

There are a few drawbacks for proximity key systems though. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it is unable to be used to start your vehicle. A locksmith or the dealership will need to replace it, and this could be costly. The fobs are also powered by batteries, meaning they'll have to be replaced from time to time.

The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of breaking the cause-and effect cycle that we are all used to when using physical keys. When using a traditional key, it's when you press the lock and it opens, you'll know that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys, you'll have to be within a certain distance from the car to activate it.

Despite their disadvantages, proximity key technology is an amazing tool for drivers who don't want to lock themselves out of their car. If you own a proximity key, you should always keep a backup on hand in case of emergency. If you require a new key, call your local Pop-Alock to inquire about replacement costs and to receive a price for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

These systems are synchronized with back-end software, allowing landlords to keep track of the process of entry and exit. These systems are linked to back-end software that allows landlords to track the entry and exit of tenants. Additionally these systems make it easier for tenants to gain access to the property in case of a crisis.

A keyless entry system transmits encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks or starts your car. It also detects the presence of a driver and adjust the vehicle's settings according to their preferences. For instance, if the driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will be able to detect this and automatically close the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems could be vulnerable to attacks, even though they are generally very safe. A replay attack, for example is when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and then sent again at a later date. However, this can be prevented by including in the keyless entry system an algorithm which ensures that each transmission is different from the previous ones.

Another advantage of keyless entry systems is that it does not require the replacement of locks following every tenant turnover. It's expensive to replace locks for every tenant turnover and therefore it is sensible that landlords try to avoid this expense as much as possible. Additionally, with a keyless entry system the only thing that is required is to reset the code, which is faster and less expensive than replacing the entire lock.
