Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) have an electronic chip inside their heads. When the key is put into a vehicle that utilizes transponder tech, the chip sends out an insignificant message to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start if it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to prevent car theft This is the reason that most modern vehicles use them.
Transponder technology first came into use in World War II, when coded messages were transmitted on radio frequencies to determine if the aircraft that was incoming was friendly or hostile. The same idea was later used to create car keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, transponder keys are commonplace on new cars, and can also be retrofitted into older models.
If you have a car equipped with this type of security system, it is recommended to always keep an extra transponder card at hand, as it will only work in the event that the chip is scanned correctly. It isn't foolproof. Some people have found ways to trick the system. They come with kits and tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder using electrical relays and wires.
Proximity Keys
Proximity Keys are one of the newest technology for keyless entry that is becoming popular in a variety of vehicles. The key fob is carried in a pocket, or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob then communicates with the car, disengaging the immobiliser and allowing the engine to begin.
However proximity key systems have some disadvantages. If the key fob becomes damaged or lost, it is unable to be used to start your vehicle. It's expensive to hire a locksmith or dealer to replace it. Batteries also provide power to the fobs. So they'll need to be replaced periodically.
The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of breaking the cause-and-effect cycle we are used to when using physical keys. If you use a conventional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. You'll need to be within a certain distance to activate proximity-sensing key.
Despite their drawbacks, proximity key technology is a great invention for drivers who aren't looking to be locked out of their car. In the event of an emergency, always have an extra key in case you own a proximity-key. If you need a new key, you can contact your local Pop-A-Lock store to inquire about replacement costs and to receive a price for services.
