Transponder Keys
In contrast to flat metal keys that 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 the key is inserted into a vehicle that utilizes transponder tech the chip transmits an insignificant message to a receiver located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to send this signal, it will cause the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are designed to protect cars from theft, which is why most modern cars use them.
During World War II, coded messages were broadcast over radio frequencies in order to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, the majority of new vehicles come equipped with these keys, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to include them.

However, this isn't completely foolproof and some have found ways to trick the transponder system, including tutorials and kits that explain how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.
Proximity keys
Proximity keys are one of the most recent keyless entry innovations, which are becoming more popular on a variety of vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their cars by touching the door handle with the key fob they carry in their purse or pocket. The key fob then connects to the car, disengaging the immobiliser and allowing the engine to begin.
However proximity key systems do have some disadvantages. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it can't be used to start the vehicle. It's costly to hire a locksmith or dealer to replace it. Batteries also power the fobs, so they'll need to be changed often.
Another drawback of proximity key technology is that it disrupts the cause/effect process we're familiar with when it comes to physical keys. If you're using a traditional key and the lock opens, you are aware that you have the key. You'll have to be within a certain distance to activate the proximity-sensing key.
Despite their downsides however, proximity keys are an amazing invention for those who aren't looking to be locked out of their vehicle. In the event of an emergency, always have a backup key handy if you have a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop-A-Lock to get a quote for services and prices.
