Electronic key fobs, which are used for activating such things as remote keyless entry systems on motor vehicles. Early electric key fobs operated using infrared and required a clear line-of-sight to function. These could be copied using a programmable remote control. More recent models use challenge-response authentication over radio frequency, so these are harder to copy and do not need line-of-sight to operate. Programming these remotes sometimes requires the automotive dealership to connect a diagnostic tool, but many of them can be self-programmed by following a sequence of steps in the vehicle and usually requires at least one working key.
Key fobs are used in apartment buildings and condominium buildings for access to common areas (for example, lobby doors, storage areas, fitness room, pool). These usually contain a passive RFID tag. The fob operates in much the same manner as a proximity card to communicate (via a reader pad) with a central server for the building, which can be programmed to allow access only to those areas in which the tenant or owner is permitted to access, or only within certain time frames.

Transponder Keys for Vehicles ExplainedAlmost every car comes with a transponder key today
Almost all new cars on the road today come with some type of “transponder key.” Toyota, Ford, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Nissan, BMW…. Most every car manufacturer uses a transponder key. I hope this post will help you understand more about them.
What is a Transponder Key?
Simply put, these keys have an rf transmitter inside of them. A device near the ignition switch of the vehicle has a receiver. The key transmits an extremely low-level signal that the vehicle can detect only when the key is in the switch.
Why Do Manufacturers Use Transponder Keys?
They are used to prevent the car from being hot wired. The car will not start if the device at the switch does not detect the low level signal from the key. If a copied key is used without the proper signal, the car will not start. If someone tries to hot wire the car, the car will not start because there is no signal from the key.
How Can I Tell If I Have A Transponder Key?
In most cases, the plastic part of the key will be thicker than a key without a transponder. This is not always the case, but it is a good sign. Another test is to wrap the plastic part of the key with several layers of tin foil and then try to start the car. If it does not start, there is a transponder present. There are some exceptions to this rule, but not many.
Another indication that you have a transponder key is if it is expensive. Call your dealer with your VIN number and ask how much a replacement key will cost. If it is a few buck, chances are strong that it is not a transponder key. If it is $50, $100 or sometimes over $300, you can be sure that a transponder is present! Again, there are some exceptions, but not many.
What Does This Have To Do With Remote Car Starters?
In their most basic form, a remote car starter is “hot wiring” your car in a very precise and controlled way. If the car does not detect the signal from the key, your remote starter will fail to start the car.
How Do You Get Around This?
There are a multitude of devices that are available to bypass this issue during remote starting. These devices fool the car into believing that the key is present. It is important to note that this is only happening during the remote start cycle. We do not, in any way, remove the protection that the transponder key provides. We simply bypass it during the start cycle?
Do These Devices Void my Warranty?
Quality bypass devices installed by a professional will not void your vehicle’s warranty.
Summary

We are aligned with the best manufacturers of bypass modules and know how to install them correctly. Stop in anytime with your vehicle for a firm price quote on a new, high quality, remote car starter system.

If you are in an emergency situation and need a locksmith, you may want to call a friend for a recommendation instead of using Google to find a qualified service person. According to a recent New York Times article, Google search results are being gamed by fake locksmithing services whose primary goal is to scam a customer into paying as much as possible.
Unbeknownst to most people, many of the locksmiths that dominate Google search results are lead generator operations with call centers in different states and even different countries. These lead gens know how to trick Google’s SEO in order to rank high in the search results and manipulate Google Maps to appear as a legitimate storefront. Behind the scenes, though, the company has no brick and mortar store and maintains a group of poorly trained subcontractors who are instructed to get as much money from the customer as possible. A large number of these contractors are brought in from Israel with the promise of steady work.

Lead gens operate using a simple bait-and-switch tactic. When you call a lead gen listing with an emergency, your details are collected and forwarded to a subcontractor who is dispatched to your home or car. Once there, the $30 quote balloons into a much higher fee because of some unexpected and often fabricated obstacle such as the procedure being “much harder to perform” or the “lock needing to be replaced.” Most people pay because they are frustrated with their situation and just want to get into their house or car right away. Others don’t realize they are being fleeced because the overcharges are relatively small.
These scams began popping up in the early 2000’s and now have become a flourishing business thanks to Google. “I’m not exaggerating when I say these guys have people in every large and midsize city in the United States,” said Assistant United States Attorney John Ware when speaking to the New York Times.
For its part, Google says it is working hard to find and remove these scam operations when they arise, but the company has so far remained one step behind these swindlers who know how to work the system and fly under Google’s radar. Unfortunately, it is legitimate locksmiths who are paying the price because their listings are grouped with the fake ones, making it difficult for customers to find a qualified service.

Almost five years since the New York Times profiled the issue with Google’s local results and locksmiths, the newspaper published a fresh story around the issue this weekend.
The story is called Fake Online Locksmiths May Be Out to Pick Your Pocket, Too. It goes through how local locksmiths are locked out of the local results because of all the fake, call-center-based locksmiths that are hacked into the Google local results.
When a searcher begins looking for a local locksmith, instead their phone call often goes to a call center, which then may send “poorly trained subcontractors” to charge you a lot more money than you were quoted on the phone. The subcontractor arrives on the scene and then often will require the person locked out of their car or house to pay three or four times what was quoted on the phone.
The goal of lead gens is to wrest as much money as possible from every customer, according to lawsuits. The typical approach is for a phone representative to offer an estimate in the range of $35 to $90. On site, the subcontractor demands three or four times that sum, often claiming that the work was more complicated than expected. Most consumers simply blanch and pay up, in part because they are eager to get into their homes or cars.
Where are these locksmiths from? The New York Times uncovered companies, often not based in the local area, that set up fake locations within Google Maps to trick the algorithm into thinking they are a locally based company. These companies can literally be found in all metro areas, but all phone calls typically go to a single call center that’s not located in the metro region.
A Google spokesman told the New York Times that the company worked hard to check bad actors and quickly removed listings that violate its policies.
The truth is, not much has changed in terms of this issue in the local results at Google in the past five years. It is almost impossible for Google to manually remove all these fake listings, and as they do remove them, several more pop up every day. The algorithm simply doesn’t work in this case.
Check out the very detailed article on the problem, who is causing it, and how Google is unable to prevent it at the New York Times.

You’ve locked yourself out of your car or your home, so you call a locksmith, perhaps the one you find in a phone book or on Google ad words. But don’t be so quick. In what has been dubbed the locksmith scam, some unscrupulous locksmiths promise low prices by phone and then jack up the cost when they arrive.
The Better Business Bureau earlier this year warned about the scam, which has been going on for years but is showing signs of becoming more prevalent.
In some instances, the companies advertising these locksmith services go by names similar to those of local companies and use local phone numbers and bogus addresses. But the calls actually go to call centers in another city, warns the Federal Trade Commission. The locksmith, who might be poorly trained, sometimes arrives in an unmarked vehicle and demands significantly more than the price quoted over the phone. Payment often must be made in cash. Frustrated consumers, eager to get into their homes or cars, often end up paying anyway.

What to do
Be prepared. One option is to find a legitimate local locksmith in advance and keep the company’s contact information with you. For your car, an alternative is to get a roadside-assistance plan that provides lockout service. (If you have a plan, find out whether it already provides the service.) Of course, it’s also a good idea to give spare sets of keys to a trusted family member, friend, or neighbor who lives nearby. We don’t recommend hiding keys outside your home or car.
Check out the company’s reputation. Before calling a locksmith, look for complaints by visiting the Better Business Bureau and by using a web search with the company name and such words as “complaints” and “reviews.” If you’re researching a locksmith for use in a future emergency, also check for complaints with the state or local consumer-protection agency.
Use your judgment. Be suspicious if the locksmith arrives in an unmarked vehicle or won’t provide identification or a business card. Don’t be afraid to send the locksmith away if something seems wrong. And don’t be intimidated into using the service.
Pay with a credit card. When arranging service, verify that the company takes credit cards. If you pay using your card and there are shenanigans, you can dispute the charge with your card issuer. Also, get a receipt. Never use cash.
File a complaint. If you feel there was wrongdoing, complain to your state attorney general or consumer-protection agency and the Better Business Bureau.
