What is a keyless smart remote entry system?
Passive remote entry on a car or truck, sometimes called keyless entry systems, provides several key perks. The most significant perk of a keyless system is the convenience it affords. Loaded down with groceries? You can still get the trunk open with a wave of your foot, depending on the keyless system you have on your vehicle. Not to mention, no more fighting to get the key into the door lock, just press a button and go. Another big advantage of keyless entry is the added security it offers. The electronics in the key need to be recognized by your car before it will open any doors or start the engine. There are some keyless systems that will automatically lock your doors as you walk away from the car. Lastly, there is the fun part of keyless entry, the remote start. You’ll feel like an everyday wizard when you press a button and see your car start.
Not all Keyless Entry Systems are passive, but all Passive systems are keyless entry systems. Here’s how it works. Keyless Entry calls for you to use buttons to lock and unlock the car doors and other features like opening the trunk. Passive Keyless entry is when you can keep your keys in your pocket (or purse) and then you touch an area to unlock and lock the doors, or wave your foot to open the hatch. One bonus of passive entry systems is that they usually include Keyless Ignition. Keyless Ignition lets you start and drive your car without the keys ever leaving your purse.
No, Keyless Ignition and Remote Start are not the same, even if they do similar things. Keyless Start lets drivers start their car without needing to use a normal key. Remote Ignition lets drivers start their vehicle through their key fob. Remote Ignition is helpful during extreme temps such as very hot or very cold days by letting you start the car and help heat it up in winter. Drivers will no longer climb into a hot car again, simply use the Remote Start and allow your vehicle to cool off before you leave.
A Smart Key is an electronic way (fob, smartphone app, key card) that is used to remotely access a vehicle. The buttons for your wireless functions are located on the Smart Key itself, if not on the key fob. The Smart Key then transmits signals to your car to open the trunk, unlock the doors, and so on. Some Smart Keys are even connected to the security system and won’t let the vehicle start without them. With so many convenient and fun options available, why wouldn’t you choose a Smart Key System?
