What is a luxury keyless remote smart entry system?
Remote passive entry systems on a car or truck, sometimes referred to as keyless entry systems, have more than a few important benefits. The most significant perk of keyless entry is the convenience it supplies. Depending on which keyless system you have on your car, you can load up on groceries and still get the trunk open with a wave of your foot. Just press the button and go, no more fighting to insert the key into the lock. Another big benefit of keyless entry is the better security it offers. The electronics in the key need to be recognized by your car before it will start the engine or open any doors. Some keyless entry systems will even automatically lock your doors when you walk away. Lastly, there is the fun perk of keyless entry, remote start. Pressing a button and hearing your car start will make you feel like an everyday wizard.
All Passive Entry systems are keyless entry, but not all Keyless Entry Systems are passive. Confusing isn’t it? This is how it works. Keyless requires the vehicle owner to push buttons on a key fob to unlock and lock the car and other features like opening the hatch. Passive Keyless is where your car keys can stay in your pocket and you touch an area (like a spot on a door) to unlock and lock the doors, or shake your foot to open the trunk area. One bonus of passive entry systems is that they almost always include Keyless Ignition. Keyless Ignition allows you to start and drive your vehicle without the keys ever leaving your purse.
To be clear, Remote Start and Keyless Ignition are different features, even if they return similar results. Keyless Start lets drivers start and drive their car without using a standard key. Remote Start lets you start your car via the key fob. Remote Start can be beneficial during extreme temps such as very cold or very hot days by letting you start the car and help heat it up in the cold. You’ll no longer get into a cold car again, simply use the Remote Ignition and warm it up before you take off.
A Smart Key is the electronic portion of your key that is used to access a car remotely. The buttons for your Keyless Entry, Remote Start, and other functions are usually found on the Smart Key itself. A Smart Key sends signals to the vehicle to unlock the doors, open the trunk, and so on. Some Smart Keys are even part of the anti-theft system and won’t let the vehicle start without them. With so many fun and convenient options available on Smart Keys, why would you pick anything else?
