Bentley Smart Key

Bentley's smart keys feature special features that can handle unique situations. If the key is locked in the trunk, for example it will be in a position to start your car. It could also notify you when the battery is depleted.

Bentley digital keys require regular programming by licensed locksmiths. This is a security measure that stops the duplicate use of keys without authorization.

Remote keyless entry system

If you'd like to drive your Bentley Bentayga without having to fumble around for keys, you'll need a remote keyless entry system. The technology makes use of radio waves which are within a brief range to lock and open the car. It operates by transmitting a signal via the key fob to a device inside your car. The receiver then transmits the signal to your car's lock and ignition to unlock. The remote can also be used to control your car's lighting and climate controls. It's a great way to get rid of the hassle of having to get your keys out of your pocket in the dark.

But the system is not infallible. Certain insurers will not cover vehicles that have keyless entry because thieves have cracked the system. The problem isn't confined to expensive models either as the standard Ford Fiesta can be hacked using the cheapest PS10 programming devices.

The security of the smart key is based on the ability of it to send an encrypted, unique code each time it opens a door or trunk. This makes it harder for thieves who are tech-savvy to open the vehicle by "replaying" these signals. The system also has a backup by using an additional key blade which is able to be used in the event the primary fob becomes damaged or lost. This is crucial since smart keys run on batteries and will eventually run out of power.

A luxury vehicle of high-end quality such as a Bentley might cost more than $100,000, however this isn't enough to stop thieves from attempting to take it away. A woman aged 52 was caught on camera stealing an 2016 bentley continental key programming in Clearwater. The robbery was likely caused by an attack on relays, which confuses the car's electronics to believe that the key fob was present.

While some older cars can be duplicated using the dashboard console, Bentley keys aren't as easily copied. A key programmer is required, which can only be purchased through a Bentley dealer. This is because the new key has to be capable of communicating with the main computer of the vehicle and be able to reject the original key.

Bluetooth connectivity

Smart keys utilize a low frequency transmission to open doors and start engines. How Stuff Works Electronics says that if a driver is not close enough to their car someone could take the signal and steal the signal. To stop this from happening, Bentley smart keys are designed to send out a different frequency signal every when a door is opened or a trunk is opened remotely. Additionally, they come with a backup battery to help the car start in the event that it is stolen.

Battery Backup
