Transponder Keys

Unlike flat metal keys that operate mechanically by cutting the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys have an electronic microchip embedded in their key heads. When they are fitted into a car that is equipped with transponder technology the chip sends an unintentional signal to a receiver located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to send this signal it will trigger the engine to start. Transponder chips were created to stop car thieves from stealing cars This is the reason they are in use in many modern vehicles.

In World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies in order to determine if an aircraft was friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, the majority of new vehicles are equipped with these keys, and they're also popular for older models that are retrofitted to include the transponder chip.

If you own a vehicle with this type of security system, you should always keep a spare transponder key on hand, since it will only work only if the chip has been scanned properly. This isn't 100% secure. Some people have found ways to trick this system. They come with kits and tutorials on how to bypass the transponder by using wires and electrical relays.

Proximity keys

Proximity Keys are the newest keyless entry technology that is becoming popular in a variety vehicles. The key fob can be put in a pocket or skoda superb replacement key bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob connects to the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers, and allows it to start.

A locksmith or dealership will have to replace it, which can be expensive. Batteries also provide power to the fobs, so they'll need to be replaced periodically.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding a spare key outside the home are long gone, and landlords can offer tenants better security by installing keys-free entry systems. These systems are synced to back-end software and allow landlords to keep track of entry and exit. In addition, these systems make it simpler for tenants to get into the property in case in the event of a crisis.

A keyless entry system works by transmitting encrypted signals to the car's receiver. The receiver reads the signal and unlocks or starts your car. It also detects the presence of a driver and adjust the car's settings according to their preferences. It will automatically close the door in the event that, for instance the driver is carrying an item in his hand.

While most keyless entry systems are extremely secure, some are vulnerable to attack. For instance a replay attack occurs when the initial remote control signal is recorded and then sent again to the device at a later point. This can be avoided by adding an algorithm to the keyless entry system that ensures every transmission is different from previous ones.

Another advantage of a keyless entry system is that it does not require changing locks after every tenant's move. It's expensive to replace locks every time a tenant moves out which is why it is recommended that landlords avoid this expense as much as they can. If you have a keyless system, all you need to do is reset the code. This is much quicker and less costly than replacing the lock.
