Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to responder and transmitter) contain an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When they are placed in a car which uses transponder technology the chip transmits an unintentional signal to a receiver situated close to the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start in the event that it has been programmed for it. Transponder chips were designed to prevent car thieves, which is why they are found in the majority of modern cars.
Transponder technology was first used in World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether aircraft arriving were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, transponder keys are standard on most new vehicles and are also retrofitted into older models.
If your vehicle has this kind of security, then you should always have a spare key on hand, as the chip will only work properly if it is scanned. This is not foolproof. Some people have found ways to fool this system. They come with kits and tutorials that explain how to disable the transponder using wires and electrical relays.
Proximity keys
Proximity keys are one of the most recent keyless entry innovations, which are becoming popular on a variety vehicles. The key fob is carried in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, removing immobilisers and allows it to start.
However proximity key systems come with some disadvantages. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it can’t be used to start your car. It could be expensive to find a locksmith or a dealership to replace it. Batteries also power the fobs, which means they’ll require replacing frequently.
The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of removing the cause-and-effect cycle we are used to when using physical keys. When you use a traditional key and the lock opens, you are aware that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys you’ll have to be within a certain distance from the vehicle to activate it.
Despite their downsides proximity keys are an excellent invention for drivers who don’t want to lock themselves out of their vehicle. In case of emergency, make sure you have a backup key handy if you own a proximity key. Contact your local Pop A Lock store for a quote on services and costs.
Keyless Entry Systems
These systems are synchronized to back-end software, allowing landlords to keep track of entry and exit. These systems are synchronized with back-end software, which allows landlords to monitor access and exit. Furthermore, these systems make it easier for tenants to gain access to the property in case an emergency.
A keyless entry system sends encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal, unlocks your car or starts it. It can also detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust the vehicle settings to accommodate their preferences. It will automatically close the door in the event that, for instance the driver has an item in his bag.
While the majority of keyless entry systems are extremely safe, some are vulnerable to attack. For example a replay attack occurs when the remote control signal is recorded and then transmitted to the device at a later point. 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.
Keyless entry also has the advantage that it doesn’t require changing the locks each when a tenant leaves. It’s expensive to replace locks following every turnover of a tenant which is why it is recommended that landlords try to avoid this cost as much as they can. With a keyless system, all you need to do is reset the code. This is much quicker and simpler than changing the lock.
