Keyless Entry

Keyless Entry systems are a fantastic feature that will make life easier for your car.

The systems function by sending radio signals that can be detected by your key fob. If your key is within range, it will send back a code to unlock the doors.

Some car makers go a step further, and offer a remote start system that allows you to turn on your engine at the push of the button. This is an excellent feature, but you still require a key in order to start the car.

One drawback of keyless entry is that it can be more difficult to keep track of your key fob. If it's lost, you'll need to go back and examine the locations you normally set it in order to find it. Certain vehicles have a feature which allows you to locate your key fob by using an app on your smartphone.

It's simple to replace your key fob at an auto service center or dealer in the event that it ceases to function.

Modern key fobs are equipped with a security chip integrated into them. This is a small circuit board that emits an electronic signal when pressed. The car's computer is able to read this signal that is transmitted by the fob to open the doors and begin the motor.

In the event that the key is not able to be found, it can be reprogrammed with the new key code as well as an empty key insert from the dealer.

Smart Keys may not be completely secure, but they are a great option to shield your vehicle from thieves with a technological edge. Instead of broadcasting the same frequency signal, which could affect all vehicles using that key, they send an encrypted, unique signal each time a car's door or trunk is remotely opened. This stops thieves from reprogramming keys to work with yours. It also makes it more difficult for them to hotwire the vehicle.

Monitoring the battery level is the first step to ensure that your Smart Keys are running smoothly. Low battery levels can cause the Smart Key LED to become intermittent and then completely inoperable. To test the battery simply press the lock or unlock button three times, and then observe the LED after each press. If the LED lights up, then the key is correctly registered in the Certification ECU. To help troubleshoot further make sure that the vehicle is away from any wireless sources, such as cell phones or WiFi routers.

Different car manufacturers have their own procedures for activating the feature, however most require that you press your fob's lock button at least once (BMW requires two presses, Ford and Lincoln have their own button sequences, and VW only lets you engage the engine remotely using an using an app).

When the signal from the remote starter is transmitted via the fob, it reaches the control module of the vehicle which will then send the engine to the running position. The system lets you unlock doors, turn on seat warmers, and activate the trunk release, among other things. The car typically starts within a few feet of the fob, however the more powerful systems can extend up to a mile when equipped with the right equipment.

If you're not getting your car to start, the issue likely involves a dead battery in the key fob. If you know how to take out the old battery and then open the case, replacing the battery will be simple. You can use the key fob (for newer models) or insert an instrument that is flat like a screwdriver, into a designated slot or notch on the side of your case. Once the case is opened, gently lift the circuitboard and remove the battery. Photograph the type of battery and observe how it fits in the case so you can locate a replacement at your local Freehold store.
