Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to transmitter and responder) include an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When the key is inserted into an automobile equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits an unintentional message to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start in the event that it has been programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to prevent car theft which is why a majority of modern vehicles have them.

Transponder technology first came into use in World War II, when coded messages were transmitted on radio frequencies to determine whether aircraft incoming were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, most new vehicles come equipped with keys that have transponder chips, and they are also popular for older models that are retrofitted to include the transponder chip.

If you own a vehicle equipped with this kind of security system, you should always keep an extra transponder key on hand, as it will only work only if the chip has been scanned properly. This isn't 100% secure. There are some who have discovered ways to trick this system. These kits include tutorials that explain how to disable the transponder with electrical relays and wires.

Proximity keys

Proximity Keys are the newest keyless entry technology that is becoming popular in a variety vehicles. The key fob is carried in a pocket, or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob then connects to the car, removing the immobiliser while allowing the engine to begin.

There are a few disadvantages to proximity key systems, though. If the fob of your key is damaged or lost, it can't be used to start your vehicle. A locksmith or dealership will have to replace it, which can be expensive. The fobs are also powered by batteries, so they'll have to be periodically replaced.

Another drawback to proximity key technology is that it breaks the cause/effect process we're used to with physical keys. If you use a conventional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys you'll have to be within a certain distance of the car to activate it.

Despite these downsides proximity keys are a fantastic invention for drivers who want prevent locking themselves out of their cars. If you own a proximity key, you should always have a spare key on hand in case of an emergency. Contact your local Pop-Alock to get a quote for services and costs.
