Transponder Keys

Instead of flat metal keys that work mechanically using cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip in their key heads. When the key is inserted into a vehicle equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits a low-level message to a receiver located near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start in the event that it has been programmed for it. Transponder chips are made to protect cars from theft and that is why the majority of modern cars use them.

During World War II, coded messages were sent over radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same concept was later used to create car keys as well, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they are used on the majority of new cars, and can also be retrofitted to older models.

If your car is equipped with this type of security, it is recommended to always have an extra key, as the chip can only function properly if it is scanned. It isn't foolproof. Some people have found ways to fool this system. They include kits and tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder by using electrical relays and wires.

Proximity keys

Proximity keys are one of the most recent keyless entry solutions, which are becoming more popular on a number of vehicles. The key fob is carried in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob connects to the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers and permitting it to start.

There are a few drawbacks to proximity key systems though. If the key fob is lost or damaged it won't be able to start the vehicle. It's costly to have a locksmith or dealership replace it. 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 we are used to when using physical keys. With a traditional key it's when you press the lock and it opens, you know you have the key. You'll have to be within a certain distance to activate the proximity-sensing key.

Despite these limitations the proximity keys are a fantastic invention for drivers who want keep themselves from locking out of their cars. If you own a proximity key, it is recommended to always have a backup key on hand in case of emergency. Contact your local Pop-A Lock for a quote on services and costs.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding keys that are not in the home are long gone and landlords can provide tenants with better security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are connected to back-end programs and allow the landlord to monitor entry and exit. These systems also allow tenants in a emergency to gain access to the property.

skoda key programming by sending encrypted signals to an internal receiver within the car. The receiver interprets the signal, unlocks your car or starts it. It also detects a driver's presence and adjust the settings of the vehicle according to their preferences. For example, if the driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will be able to detect this and shut the doors.


Certain keyless entry systems can be prone to attacks, despite being very safe. For instance a replay attack occurs when the initial remote control signal is recorded and then repeated to the device at a later date. This can be prevented by creating an algorithm for the keyless entry system that makes sure that each transmission is distinct from the previous one.

Another benefit of the keyless entry system is that it doesn't need to change locks after every tenant's move. It's costly to change locks after every tenant turnover and it is therefore sensible that landlords avoid this cost as much as they can. In addition, with a keyless entry system all that is required is to reset the code, which is a lot faster and less expensive than replacing the entire lock.
