Transponder Keys
Unlike flat metal keys that operate mechanically with 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 a vehicle equipped with transponder technology, the chip sends out an insignificant message to a receiver near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start when it is programmed for it. skoda key fob were created to protect cars from theft which is why they are in use in many modern automobiles.
In World War II, coded messages were sent over radio frequencies in order to determine if an aircraft was friendly or hostile. The same concept was later used to create car keys and keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, transponder keys are used on the majority of new vehicles, and can also be retrofitted to older models.
If you own a vehicle equipped with this kind of security system, it is recommended to always have an extra transponder card in your car, as it will only work in the event that the chip is scanned correctly. But this isn't 100% secure and some people have discovered methods to fool 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 one of the most recent keyless entry technology, and are becoming more popular on a variety vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle with the key fob in their purse or pocket. The key fob then connects to the car, disengaging the immobiliser and allowing the engine to start.
There are some disadvantages to proximity key systems however. If the key fob is damaged or lost it isn't able to start the car. 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 need to be replaced regularly.
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. With a traditional key when you touch the lock and it opens, you'll know 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 keys are an excellent invention for drivers who aren't looking to lock themselves out of their car. If you have a proximity key, it is recommended to always keep a backup key in case of emergency. Contact your local Pop-A-Lock for a quote on the services and costs.
Keyless Entry Systems
The days of storing keys that are not in the home are long gone, and landlords can offer tenants better security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems are synced with back-end software that allows landlords to keep track of access and exit. In addition, these systems make it easier for tenants to enter the property in case of a crisis.
Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver then detects the signal and then unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to accommodate their preferences. For example, if a driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will be able to detect this and close the doors.
While most keyless entry systems are extremely secure, some are susceptible to attack. A replay attack, for example, is when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and transmitted to a different location at a later time. However, this could be thwarted by including in the keyless entry system an algorithm that ensures that every transmission is distinct from all previous ones.
Keyless entry systems also offers the advantage of being a keyless entry system that does not require you to change locks each when a tenant leaves. This is an expensive part of the process of transferring units, and it makes sense for landlords to avoid this expense as much as feasible. In addition with a keyless access system all that is needed is resetting the code, which is faster and easier than replacing the entire lock.
