Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) include an electronic chip inside their heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle that is equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits low-level signals to a receiver situated near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start, if it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are made to prevent car theft This is the reason that most modern cars have them.
During World War II, coded messages were transmitted via radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same concept was later applied to car keys as well, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, a majority of new vehicles are equipped with them, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to incorporate them.
If you own a car with this type of security system, you should always have an extra transponder keys at hand, as it will only work only if the chip has been scanned correctly. However, this isn't foolproof and some have discovered methods to fool the transponder system. This includes tutorials and kits that explain how to bypass it using electrical relays and wiring.
Proximity keys
Proximity keys are one of the most recent keyless entry solutions, which are becoming popular on a variety vehicles. The key fob is carried in a pocket, or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, removing immobilisers from the vehicle and allows it to start.
However proximity key systems do have certain disadvantages. If the key fob becomes damaged or lost, it will not be used to start your car. It's expensive to hire a locksmith or dealer to replace it. Batteries also provide power to the fobs. So they'll require replacing often.
Another drawback to proximity key technology is that it breaks the cause/effect cycle we're all familiar with when using physical keys. With a traditional key it's when you press 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 of the car to activate it.
Despite these drawbacks proximity keys are a great innovation for those who want to avoid locking themselves out their cars. In the event of an emergency, always have an emergency key with you if you have a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop-Alock for a quote on the services and prices.

A keyless entry system works by transmitting encrypted signals the car's receiver. The receiver then interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It can also recognize a driver's presence and adjust the vehicle settings according to their preferences. It will automatically shut the door in the event that, for instance, the driver has an item in his hand.
Although most keyless entry systems are extremely secure, some are susceptible to attacks. A replay attack, for example is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and transmitted again at a later date. This can be prevented by incorporating an algorithm into the keyless entry system that ensures each transmission is unique from the previous one.
A keyless entry system also has the advantage that it doesn't require you to change the locks every time a tenant moves out.
