Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) have an electronic chip in their heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle that is equipped with transponder technology the chip sends a low-level signal to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start if it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to protect cars from theft and that is why they are found in the majority of modern cars.

Transponder technology first came into use during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. The same idea was later applied to keys for cars and keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they are commonplace on new cars, and can also be retrofitted into older models.

Proximity Keys

Proximity Keys are the newest keyless entry innovations that are becoming popular across a variety of vehicles. They let drivers unlock their car by merely touching the door handle using the key fob that is in their bag or pocket. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers, and allows it to begin.

There are a few disadvantages for proximity key systems however. If the key fob is lost skoda car key or damaged the fob isn't usable to start the car. A locksmith or the dealership will have to replace it, which can be expensive. Batteries also power the fobs, so they'll need to be replaced often.

The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of breaking the cause-and-effect cycle that we are all familiar with when using physical keys. When you insert a traditional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. You must be within a certain distance to activate the proximity-sensing key.

Despite their disadvantages, proximity key technology is an amazing invention for those who do not want to lock themselves out of their car. If you have a proximity key, make sure you always have a spare key on hand in case of an emergency.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys that are not in the home are over and landlords can now give tenants more security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems are synchronized with back-end software, allowing landlords to monitor access and exit. These systems also help tenants in times of crisis to enter the property.

Keyless entry systems work by sending encrypted signals to a receiver inside the car. The receiver reads the signal and opens or turns off your car. It can also recognize the presence of a driver and adjust the settings of the vehicle in accordance with their preferences. For instance, if a driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will detect this and automatically close the doors.

While most keyless entry systems are incredibly safe, some are vulnerable to attack. For instance the term replay attack refers to where the original remote control signal is recorded and sent again to the device at a later time. This can be avoided by creating an algorithm for the keyless entry system that ensures each transmission is unique from the previous ones.

Another advantage of a keyless entry system is that it doesn't require the replacement of locks following every tenant's move. This is an expensive part of the unit turnover process and it is sensible for landlords to save money whenever feasible. Additionally when using a keyless entry system all that is required is resetting the code, which is much faster and less costly than replacing the entire lock.
