Transponder Keys
Contrary to the flat metal keys which operate mechanically with cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip within their key heads. When they are placed in a car which uses transponder technology the chip transmits an low-level signal to the receiver that is located close to the ignition switch. This causes the engine to begin, if it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are made to protect cars from theft which is why a majority of modern cars have them.
During World War II, coded messages were broadcast over radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was friendly or hostile. The same concept was later used to create car keys as well, with General Motors creating the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they’ve become standard on most new cars, and can also be retrofitted into older models.
If you own a vehicle equipped with this type of security system, it is recommended to always keep a spare transponder key at hand, as it will only work if the chip is scanned properly. But this isn’t 100% secure and some people have discovered ways to evade the transponder system. This includes tutorials and kits that show how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.
Proximity Keys
Proximity Keys are among the latest keyless entry innovations that are becoming popular in a variety of vehicles. The key fob is 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 for the engine to begin.
However proximity key systems have some drawbacks. If the key fob is lost or damaged it isn’t able to start the vehicle. A locksmith or a dealership will have to replace it, and this could be costly. The fobs are also powered by batteries, and so they’ll have to be replaced from time to time.
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. With proximity-sensing keys, you’ll need to be within a certain distance of the vehicle to activate it.
Despite their downsides proximity keys are an amazing tool for drivers who do not want to be locked out of their vehicle. In the event of an emergency, keep an additional key on hand if you have a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop-A Lock to get a quote for services and costs.
Keyless Entry Systems
These systems are synchronized to back-end software, which allows landlords to monitor the process of entry and exit. These systems are synchronized with back-end software that allows landlords to keep track of the entry and exit of tenants. Furthermore these systems make it simpler for tenants to get into the property in case an emergency.
A keyless entry system sends encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and opens or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to accommodate their needs. It will automatically close the door if, for example the driver is carrying a bag in his hands.
Some keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks, even though they are generally very safe. For instance replay attacks occur when the initial remote control signal is recorded, and then repeated to the device at a later time. This can be avoided by using an algorithm in the keyless entry system that makes sure that every transmission is different from the previous ones.
Another advantage of a keyless entry system is that it doesn’t need to change locks after every tenant’s move. It is expensive to change locks following every turnover of a tenant which is why it is recommended that landlords avoid this expense as much as is possible. With a keyless system all you need to do is reset the code. This is much quicker and easier than replacing the lock.
