Skoda Keys - Keyless Entry and Proximity Keys
The tech-savvy experts at Skoda understand how you can safely open and lock your car with no traditional key. The newer systems verify that the key is within range of the vehicle and that the button has been hit.

Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) contain an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When they are placed in a car which uses transponder technology the chip sends an unintentional signal to a receiver that is located close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips are designed to guard against theft of cars which is why a majority of modern vehicles have them.
Transponder technology first came into use in World War II, when coded messages were transmitted on radio frequencies to determine whether aircraft incoming were friendly or hostile. The same concept was later applied to keys for cars, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they are commonplace on new vehicles and are also retrofitted to older models.
If your car is equipped with this type of security, it is recommended to always have a spare key on hand, as the chip can only function effectively if it's scanned. This is not foolproof. There are some who have discovered ways to trick the system. They come with kits and tutorials that explain how to disable the transponder by using electrical relays and wires.
Proximity keys
Proximity keys are the newest keyless entry solutions, which are becoming more popular on a variety of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle using the key fob, which is kept in their purse or pocket. The key fob will then communicate with the car, disengaging the immobiliser and allowing the engine to start.
There are a few drawbacks to proximity key systems, though. If the key fob becomes damaged or lost, it is unable to be used to start your car. A locksmith or a dealership will have to replace it, and this can be expensive. The fobs are also powered by batteries, so they'll need to be replaced regularly.
Another disadvantage of proximity key technology is that it breaks the cause/effect process we're used to with physical keys. With a traditional key, when you press the lock and it opens, you'll know you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys you'll need to be within a certain distance of the vehicle to activate it.
Despite these downsides, proximity keys are a fantastic option for those who wish to avoid locking themselves out their vehicles. If you own a proximity key, it is recommended to always keep a backup in the event of an emergency. Contact your local Pop-Alock for a quote on the services and prices.
Keyless Entry Systems
The days of storing keys in the home are over and landlords can provide tenants with better security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are connected to back-end software and allow the landlord to monitor entry and exit. These systems also allow tenants in a situation of crisis to access the property.
Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks or starts your car. It also can detect a driver's presence and adjust the car's settings according to their preferences. For example, if the driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will detect this and close the doors.
Certain keyless entry systems may be vulnerable to attacks, even though they are generally very secure. For instance the term replay attack refers to when the original remote control signal is recorded, and then transmitted to the device at a later point. However, this could be prevented by including in the keyless entry system an algorithm that guarantees that each transmission is distinct from previous ones.
A keyless entry system has the advantage that it does not require you to replace the locks each when a tenant moves out. It can be costly to replace locks after every tenant turnover and therefore it is sensible that landlords try to avoid this expense as much as they can. Additionally with a keyless access system, all that is required is resetting the code, which is a lot faster and easier than replacing the entire lock.
