Luxury Keyless Remote Entry for a Car
Keyless entry systems on a car or truck, sometimes called passive entry systems, have several important advantages. The most popular perk of keyless entry is the convenience it supplies. Depending on your vehicle, you can load up on groceries and still get the trunk open with a wave of your foot. Additionally, no more fighting to insert the key into the lock, just press a button and go. The added security keyless entry provides is another big advantage. The electronics in the key need to be recognized by your car before it will allow access or start the engine. There are some keyless entry systems that can automatically lock your doors when you walk away from the car. Last but not least, there's the fun side of keyless entry, the remote start. You'll feel like an everyday wizard when you press a button and hear your car start.
Does Keyless Entry Equal Passive Entry?
All Passive Entry systems are keyless, but not all Keyless Systems are passive. We realize it's confusing. This is how it functions. Keyless involves the vehicle owner pushing buttons to lock and unlock the car and other functions like opening the trunk. Passive Keyless entry is where the keys can remain in your pocket and you touch an area on the car (like a spot on a door) to lock and unlock the doors, or wave your foot underneath the car to open the trunk area. One bonus of passive systems is that they usually include Keyless Ignition. Keyless Ignition allows drivers to start and drive their vehicle without the key fob ever leaving their pocket.
What is Remote Start?
Even though they do similar things, Keyless Ignition and Remote Start are not the same things. Keyless Start lets drivers start and drive their car without needing a normal key. Just press a button, and go! Remote Ignition lets you start your vehicle through your key fob. Remote Ignition can be useful in extreme temps such as very hot or very cold days by allowing you to start the car and help cool it off during the summer. You'll never get into a cold vehicle again, simply use the Remote Start and heat it up before you drive away.
Definition of a Smart Key
A Smart Key is the electronic portion of your key that is used to remotely access a vehicle. The buttons for your Remote Start, Keyless Entry, and other functions are found on the Smart Key itself, if not on the attached fob. The Smart Key transmits signals to your car to open the hatch, unlock the doors, and so on. Some Smart Keys are even connected to the anti-theft system and won't allow the vehicle to start without them. With so many convenient and fun options available, why wouldn't you choose a Smart Key?
