Transponder Keys

Contrary to the flat metal keys which work mechanically using cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip embedded in their key heads. When the key is inserted into an automobile equipped with transponder tech, the chip sends out an unintentional message to a receiver near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to begin, when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips were developed to stop car thieves from stealing cars, which is why they are found in the majority of modern vehicles.

Transponder technology was first utilized during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. The same concept was later used to create car keys as well, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they've become commonplace on new vehicles and are also retrofitted to older models.

If your vehicle has this kind of security, it is recommended to always have an extra key in case of emergency, since the chip will only work properly if it's been scanned. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some people have discovered ways to fool the transponder system, such as kits and tutorials that explain how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity Keys are one of the newest keyless entry innovations that are becoming popular in a variety vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their car by merely touching the door handle with the key fob they carry in their pocket or bag. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers and allowing it to start.

There are some disadvantages with proximity key systems however. 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, which can be expensive. Batteries also provide power to the fobs. So they'll need to be changed frequently.

Another drawback of proximity key technology is that it disrupts the cause/effect process we're familiar with 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 need to be within a certain distance of the vehicle to activate it.

Despite these limitations proximity keys are a great innovation for those who want to avoid locking themselves out their cars. In case of emergency, keep a backup key handy if you have a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop-A-Lock for a quote on services and costs.

Keyless entry works by transmitting encrypted signals the car's receiver. The receiver responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect a driver's presence and adjust the settings of the vehicle in accordance with their preferences. It will automatically shut the door if, for example the driver is carrying an item in his bag.

While the majority of keyless entry systems are incredibly safe, some are vulnerable to attacks. For instance replay attacks occur when the initial remote control signal is recorded and repeated to the device at a later time. However, this could be prevented by including in the keyless entry system a method that guarantees that each transmission is distinct from the previous ones.

Another benefit of a keyless entry system is that it does not require changing the locks after each tenant's departure. This is a costly part of the process for converting units, and it makes sense for landlords to save money whenever possible.
