Transponder Keys
Instead of flat metal keys that operate mechanically with 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 they are placed in a car that has transponder technology, the chip transmits a low-level signal to a receiver near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start in the event that it has been programmed for it. Transponder chips were designed to prevent car thieves which is why they are present in a majority of modern automobiles.
Transponder technology was first introduced in World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether the aircraft that was incoming was friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, a majority of new vehicles come equipped with keys that have transponder chips, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to include them.
If you have a car with this type of security system, you must always keep an extra transponder card on hand, as it only works in the event that the chip is scanned properly. However, this isn't foolproof, and some people have discovered ways to evade the transponder system. These include tutorials and kits that show how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.
Proximity keys
Proximity Keys are the newest keyless entry technologies that are becoming popular across a variety of vehicles. The key fob is stored in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob will then communicate with the car, disengaging the immobiliser and allowing the engine to start.
There are some downsides with proximity key systems however. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it can't be used to start the vehicle. A locksmith or the dealership will have to replace it, and this could be costly. The fobs are also powered by batteries, so they'll have to be replaced every now and then.
The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of breaking the cause and effect cycle that we are all used to when using physical keys. With a traditional key when you touch the lock and it opens, you'll know you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys you'll have to be within a certain distance from the car to activate it.
Despite their limitations however, proximity keys are an amazing invention for those who aren't looking to be locked out of their car. In the event of an emergency, keep a backup key handy if you own a proximity key. If you require a replacement key, contact your local Pop-Alock to inquire about replacement costs and to receive a price for services.
