Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (a portmanteau for responder and transmitter) include an electronic chip inside their heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle that has transponder technology, the chip transmits low-level signals to a receiver situated close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so it will trigger the engine to turn on. Transponder chips were designed to protect cars from theft, which is why they are present in a majority of modern automobiles.
During World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies in order to determine whether 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 come equipped with them, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to include them.
If your car is equipped with this kind of security, you should always carry an extra key, as the chip will only work correctly if it is read. This isn't 100% secure. Some people have found ways to trick this system. There are kits and tutorials on how to bypass the transponder with electrical relays and wires.
Proximity keys
Proximity Keys are among the latest keyless entry technology that is becoming popular in a variety vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle with the key fob in their purse or pocket. The key fob connects to the vehicle, removing immobilisers and allowing it to start.
There are some disadvantages with proximity key systems however. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it cannot be used to start your vehicle. A locksmith or the dealership will need to replace it, which can be expensive. Batteries also power the fobs, so they'll need to be replaced frequently.
Another drawback of proximity key technology is that it disrupts the cause/effect cycle we're all familiar with when it comes to physical keys. When using a traditional key, when you touch the lock and it opens, you'll know that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys, you'll need to be within a certain distance of the vehicle to activate it.
Despite these downsides proximity keys are a great option for those who want to avoid locking themselves out their vehicles. If you have a proximity key, you should always have a spare key in case of emergency. Contact your local Pop-Alock for a quote on the services and prices.
