Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to transmitter and responder) have an electronic chip inside their heads. When the key is inserted into an automobile equipped with transponder tech the chip transmits a low-level message to a receiver near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start if it is programmed for it. Transponder chips were designed to prevent car thieves which is why they are in use in many modern vehicles.
In World War II, coded messages were sent over radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, most new cars come with them, and they're also popular for older models that are retrofitted to include them.
If your car is equipped with this security feature, you must always have a spare key on hand, as the chip can only function effectively if it's scanned. It isn't foolproof. There are some who have discovered ways to trick this system. There are kits and tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder with wires and electrical relays.
Proximity Keys
Proximity Keys are the newest keyless entry innovations that are becoming popular in a variety vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their cars by simply touching the door handle using the key fob, which is kept in their purse or pocket. The key fob then communicates with the car, removing the immobiliser while allowing the engine to begin.
However proximity key systems have some disadvantages. If the key fob is lost or damaged it isn't able to start the car. A locksmith or a dealership will have to replace it, which can be expensive. The fobs are also powered by batteries, so they'll have to be replaced regularly.
Another disadvantage of proximity key technology is that it disrupts the cause/effect process we're familiar with when using physical keys. When you use a traditional key and the lock opens, you are aware that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys, you'll have to be within a certain distance from the vehicle to activate it.
Despite these disadvantages the proximity keys are a fantastic option for those who want to avoid locking themselves out their cars. In the event of an emergency, always have an extra key in case you have a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop-A Lock for a quote on the services and prices.
