Skoda Keys - Keyless Entry and Proximity Keys

The experts at Skoda's technical department know how to safely unlock and lock your vehicle without the traditional key. The most recent systems check that the key is within a certain distance of the car and that it has been activated with pressing a button.

The Kamiq is Skoda’s first SUV. It features a higher ride-height and VarioFlex seating that can be folded, removed, or moved completely to maximize the space in the boot.

Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to transmitter and responder) include an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When inserted into a car that uses transponder technology, the chip sends a low-level signal to a receiver that is located close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to send this signal it will trigger the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are made to prevent car theft which is why a majority of modern cars use them.

During World War II, coded messages were transmitted via radio frequencies to determine if an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same idea was later used to create car keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, the majority of new vehicles are equipped with these keys, and they're also popular for older models that are retrofitted to include them.

If you have a car with this type of security system, make sure you always have an extra transponder key in your car, as it only works when the chip is read properly. This is not foolproof. There are some who have discovered ways to fool this system. There are kits and tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder by using wires and electrical relays.

Proximity Keys

Proximity Keys are among the latest keyless entry innovations that are becoming popular in a variety of automobiles. The key fob is put in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob will then communicate with the car, removing the immobiliser and allowing for the engine to begin.

There are some downsides with proximity key systems however. If the key fob gets damaged or lost, it will not be used to start your car. It could be expensive to hire a locksmith or dealer to replace it. Batteries also provide power to the fobs. So they'll require replacing regularly.

Another drawback of proximity keys technology is that it disrupts the cause-and-effect cycle that we're familiar with using physical keys. With a traditional key when you press the lock and it opens, you'll know you have the key. You'll need to be within a specific distance to activate a proximity-sensing keys.

Despite these disadvantages the proximity keys are a fantastic option for drivers who want avoid locking themselves out their cars. If you own a proximity key, it is recommended to always have a spare key in case of an emergency. Contact your local Pop-Alock to get a quote for services and costs.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys in the home are over and landlords can now offer tenants better security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems are synced with back-end software that allows landlords to keep track of access and exit. Furthermore these systems make it simpler for tenants to gain access to the property in case of a crisis.

Keyless entry systems work by transmitting encrypted signals the car's receiver. The receiver then responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It also detects a driver's presence and adjust the vehicle's settings according to their preferences. For instance, if a driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will detect this and then automatically shut the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems may be vulnerable to attacks even though they're generally very safe. A replay attack, for example, is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and then sent again at a later point. However, this could be prevented by including in the keyless entry system a method that ensures each transmission differs from all previous ones.

Another advantage of the keyless entry system is that it doesn't need to change locks after every tenant turnover. It's costly to change locks every time a tenant moves out which is why it is recommended that landlords cut down on this expense as much as possible. Furthermore with a keyless access system all that is required is resetting the code, which is faster and less expensive than replacing the entire lock.
