Keyless Entry

Keyless entry lets you open and start your car without the use of a mechanical car key. This feature, sometimes referred to as Toyota Smart Entry by some manufacturers, uses an electronic signal that travels between your key fob and the car. The car responds by unlocking or launching the engine. Certain keyless entry systems allow you to open the trunk.

Contrary to traditional keys that can be easily broken bent, bent, or scratched the electronic components in key fobs are designed so that they can withstand damage. These systems are not foolproof. They can be hacked by sophisticated thieves and can be vulnerable to security issues too. Therefore, you should update your codes frequently on your key fobs, and do not allow them to be accessed by other people.

In order to activate the keyless system, you will need to put your hand on the door handle (or press a button on the handle of the door itself). Your vehicle will then send out an e-mail that works within close range. If your key fob falls within this range, the car will respond by sending an unlock code or start the vehicle.

Certain aftermarket kits can only unlock the door for the driver, whereas the most sophisticated ones provide remote start and connectivity to smartphones. A professional installation will ensure that the installation has been done correctly and that it does not cause other problems to the wiring in your vehicle.

Ignition switch/Lock Cylinder

The ignition switch is a device which locks the engine of your vehicle when the key isn't inserted into it, helping to prevent car theft. It may eventually wear down and cause it to become jammed or become stuck when the key is put in or removed, or hinder starting the vehicle. A locksmith in the automotive industry can usually solve this issue by replacing or smoothing the wafers in.

Key Fob Battery

If your key fob won't open the doors and opening the car like it did in the past and it isn't working, it could be due to a new battery. This is true especially when you need to press the button more often to get the key fob to work.

Fortunately, replacing the battery is fairly easy. You'll first need to open the keyfob. This can be done with the flathead screwdriver in several locations around its edges.

Then put a flathead screwdriver into the slot or notch that separates the key fob's two halves.

You can snap the two halves the fob back together.

Batteries for key fobs are usually CR2025 lithium coin/button cells which are available in packs of 2 or 6 at a wide range of home and general improvement stores. You can also buy them online, and they are sold by well-known brands such as Energizer and Panasonic.
