Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) are equipped with an electronic chip within their heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle that is equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits an unintentional signal to a receiver located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this it will cause the engine to start. Transponder chips are made to guard against theft of cars, which is why most modern vehicles use them.
Transponder technology was first utilized during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine if incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, all new cars come with these keys, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to incorporate them.

There are some who have discovered ways to trick the system. These kits include tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder by using wires and electrical relays.
Proximity Keys
Proximity keys are one of the most recent keyless entry technologies, which are now being used on a variety vehicles. The key fob can be stored in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob will then communicate with the car, removing the immobiliser, allowing the engine to start.
However proximity key systems have some drawbacks. If the key fob is damaged or lost it won't be able to start the vehicle. A locksmith or a dealership will have to replace it, which can be expensive. Batteries also power the fobs, so they'll require replacing regularly.
Another disadvantage of proximity key technology is that it breaks the cause/effect cycle we're all familiar with using physical keys. When you use a traditional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. You'll have to be within a specified distance to activate the proximity-sensing key.
Despite these drawbacks, proximity keys are a fantastic option for those who wish to prevent locking themselves out of their cars. If you own a proximity key, it is recommended to always have a spare key on hand in the event of an emergency. If you need a replacement key, contact your local Pop-Alock to inquire about the cost of replacements and to get a quote for services.
Keyless Entry Systems
The days of storing keys in the home are long gone, and landlords can provide tenants with better security by installing keys-free entry systems. These systems are linked to a back-end program and permit landlords to keep track of entry and exit. Furthermore, these systems make it easier for tenants to access the property in case there is a need to enter the property in case of emergency.
Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver then responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It also detects the presence of a driver and adjust the vehicle's settings in accordance with their preferences. For instance, if the driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will be able to detect this and close the doors.
Some keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks even though they are generally very secure. A replay attack, for example is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and sent to a different location at a later time. This can be prevented by creating an algorithm for the keyless entry system that makes sure that every transmission is distinct from the previous one.
Another benefit of a keyless entry system is that it does not require the replacement of locks following every tenant turnover. This is a costly part of the process of transferring units and it is sensible for landlords to avoid this expense whenever it is possible. With a keyless lock, all you have to do is reset the code. This is much faster and simpler than changing the lock.
