Skoda Keys - Keyless Entry and Proximity Keys

The technical boffins at Skoda are aware of how to safely unlock and open your car without the traditional style key. The most recent systems check that the key is within a specific range of the car and it has been activated by a button press.

Transponder Keys

Contrary to the flat metal keys which are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip in their key heads. When they are fitted into a car that uses transponder technology, the chip transmits a low-level signal to a receiver close to the ignition switch. This causes the engine to begin, if it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to stop theft of cars and that is why the majority of modern cars have them.

During World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies in order to determine if an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same concept was later applied to keys for cars in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they are commonplace on new vehicles, and can also be retrofitted into older models.

If your vehicle has this kind of security, then you should always have an extra key in case of emergency, since the chip can only function properly if it is scanned. But this isn't 100% secure and some people have discovered ways to evade the transponder system, including 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 technologies, which are gaining popularity on a variety of vehicles. The key fob can be put in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob connects to the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers, and permitting it to start.

However proximity key systems have certain disadvantages. If the key fob is lost or damaged, it can't be used to start the car. A locksmith or a dealership will have to replace it, and this could be costly. The fobs are also powered by batteries, which means they will need to be replaced regularly.

The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of breaking the cause and effect cycle that we are all used to when using physical keys. In the case of a traditional lock, when you press the lock and it opens, you'll know that you have the key. You'll need to be within a certain distance to activate a proximity-sensing keys.

Despite their downsides proximity keys are a great invention for drivers who do not want to be locked out of their car. In case of emergency, make sure you have an emergency key with you if you have a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop-A-Lock for a quote on services and prices.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys outside of the home are long gone and landlords can now offer tenants better security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems are linked to a back-end program and permit landlords to monitor entrance and exit. In addition these systems make it simpler for tenants to get into the property in the event an emergency.

A keyless entry system sends encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal, unlocks or starts your car. It also can detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to accommodate their needs. For example, if a driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will detect this and shut the doors.

While the majority of keyless entry systems are incredibly secure, some are vulnerable to attack. For instance, a replay attack is when the remote control signal is recorded, and then sent again to the device at a later time. This can be avoided by incorporating an algorithm into the keyless entry system to ensure that every transmission is different from previous ones.

Another advantage of the keyless entry system is that it doesn't require changing locks after every tenant's move. It is expensive to change locks every time a tenant moves out and it is therefore sensible that landlords stay away from this cost as much as they can. In addition with a keyless entry system the only thing that is required is resetting the code, which is much quicker and less costly than replacing the entire lock.
