Keyless Entry

Keyless entry is a useful feature that is available on many newer cars. It allows you to start your car remotely without having to dig around in your purse or pockets. The process is fairly simple and the system consists of a transmitter built inside your car (usually located near or on the ignition), a receiver located inside the door handle, and an electronic key fob that communicates with both.

When you get close to your vehicle, the transmitter sends the radio signal, which is detected by the receiver. The vehicle's computer will unlock your doors when the two signals are in sync. If you're too far, the car will usually warn you by sounding an alarm or flash of the indicators.

Once inside, a key fob can unlock the trunk as well as the alarm if the device is equipped to do that. More advanced key fobs can also allow you to remote start your vehicle and control different settings.

While there are many advantages for a keyless entry system, it is important to recognize that they are vulnerable to hacking and unauthorised access. Thieves make use of relay attacks and signal amplifying in order to intercept and duplicate the signal sent by your car key fob. This can be used to gain control over and access your vehicle. It's important to regularly update your key fob and to make sure it is secured.

Another issue that could arise with keyless entry systems is that they depend on batteries in both the key fob and the vehicle itself. The batteries could fail or be not replaced, causing the car to not respond to your commands. In these instances, it's usually possible to restore functionality by reprogramming the key fob or replacing the battery. If you're unsure of how to proceed, contact the car manufacturer for assistance.
