Transponder Keys
Instead of flat metal keys that operate mechanically by cutting the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys have an electronic microchip within their key heads. When they are fitted into a car that uses transponder technology, the chip transmits an low-level signal to the receiver situated close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this, it will cause the engine to start. Transponder chips were developed to prevent car thieves, which is why they are used in most modern automobiles.
In World War II, coded messages were sent over radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was friendly or hostile. The same idea was later used to create car keys in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, transponder keys are commonplace on new vehicles, and can also be retrofitted to older models.
If your car is equipped with this kind of security, then you should always carry an extra key, as the chip can only function correctly if it is read. The Key Lab isn't foolproof. There are some who have discovered ways to trick this system. There are kits and tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder using wires and electrical relays.
Proximity Keys
Proximity Keys are one of the newest technology for keyless entry that is becoming popular in a variety of automobiles. They allow drivers to unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle using the key fob in their purse or pocket. The key fob connects to the vehicle, removing immobilisers from the vehicle and allows it to start.
However proximity key systems do have some disadvantages. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it is unable to be used to start your vehicle. It could be expensive to get a locksmith replace it. The fobs are also powered by batteries, and so they'll require to be replaced regularly.
The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of breaking the cause and effect cycle we are familiar with when using physical keys. When you insert 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 car to activate it.
Despite these limitations proximity keys are a fantastic invention for drivers who want to keep themselves from locking out of their vehicles. If you have a proximity key, you should always keep a backup in case of an emergency. Contact your local Pop A Lock store to inquire about services and costs.
Keyless Entry Systems
These systems are synchronized to back-end software, which allows landlords to monitor entry and exit. These systems are synced with back-end software, allowing the landlord to monitor access and exit. These systems also aid tenants in a emergency to gain access to the property.
A keyless entry system sends encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver reads the signal and unlocks or starts your car. It also can detect the presence of a driver and adjust vehicle settings to suit their preferences. It will automatically shut the door if, for example, the driver has bags in his hands.
Although most keyless entry systems are extremely secure, some of them are vulnerable to attack. A replay attack, for instance, is when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded, and then transmitted to a different location at a later time. This can be avoided by adding an algorithm to the keyless entry system to ensure that each transmission is distinct from the previous one.
Another advantage of the keyless entry system is that it does not require changing locks after each tenant's departure. It is expensive to change locks after every tenant turnover and it is therefore sensible that landlords try to 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 less costly than replacing the lock.
