Skoda Keys – Keyless Entry and Proximity Keys The technical boffins at Skoda understand how you can safely unlock and open your car without the traditional key. The most recent systems check that the key is within area of the vehicle and that the button is activated. The Kamiq will kick off Skoda's SUV campaign with a raised ride height and clever VarioFlex seats that allow you to fold, fold or remove them completely – boosting your boot space. Transponder Keys Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to responder and transmitter) include an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When the key is inserted into a vehicle equipped with transponder technology it sends an unintentional message to a receiver near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so it will trigger the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are made to stop theft of cars This is the reason that most modern cars have them. In World War II, coded messages were transmitted via radio frequencies in order to determine if an aircraft was hostile or friendly. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, most new vehicles come equipped with keys that have transponder chips, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to include the transponder chip. If your car has this kind of security, you should always have a spare key, as the chip can only function properly if it's been scanned. However, this isn't completely foolproof, and some people have discovered ways to fool the transponder system. These include tutorials and kits that explain how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring. Proximity keys Proximity keys are among the most recent keyless entry technology, and are now being used on a variety vehicles. They let drivers unlock their cars by touching the door handle with the key fob in their bag or pocket. The key fob then connects to the car, disengaging the immobiliser while allowing the engine to start. There are a few disadvantages with proximity key systems however. If the fob of your key is damaged or lost, it cannot be used to start your vehicle. A locksmith or dealership will have to replace it, and this can be expensive. 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 removing 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 that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys, you'll need to be within a certain distance of the car to activate it. Despite these limitations the proximity keys are a great innovation for drivers who want to prevent locking themselves out of their cars. In case of emergency, always have an extra key in case you have a proximity-key. If you require a replacement key, you can contact your local Pop-A-Lock to learn about replacement costs and to get a quote for services. Keyless Entry Systems The days of storing keys outside of the home are long gone, and landlords can give tenants more security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems are synced with back-end software, allowing landlords to track entry and exit. These systems also allow tenants in crisis to get into the property. Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal, unlocks or starts your car. It can also detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to meet their needs. For example, if a driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will recognize this and automatically close the doors. Some keyless entry systems can be prone to attacks, despite being very safe. For example the term replay attack refers to when the original remote control signal is recorded, and then sent back to the device at a later date. This can be prevented by using an algorithm in the keyless entry system that makes sure that every transmission is different from the previous ones. Another benefit of the keyless entry system is that it does not need to change locks after every tenant's move. It's expensive to replace locks after every tenant turnover and therefore it is sensible that landlords avoid this expense as much as possible. Furthermore, with a keyless entry system all that is needed is resetting the key, which is much faster and simpler than replacing the entire lock.
