Keyless Entry System

The keyless entry system is an increasingly popular feature on cars. This system makes use of radio signals instead of traditional keys that require the driver insert them into the lock, turn them over and then take them out. When the car is aware that the key fob is within the range, it will open or start the engine. Certain systems also allow the driver to open the trunk and windows by pushing an appropriate button on the key fob.

It is easier to use a keyless lock especially in cold weather. This way, you don't have to insert your key into the lock, and it may stop damage from dust or ice on the lock mechanism.

Consequently, it is recommended to keep an emergency key in the vehicle's glove box.

Another benefit of keyless systems is that it gives you more security than a conventional key. For example, some systems will automatically lock the vehicle if the driver walks away and stop the engine if the driver isn't paying attention to doing the same. These options are particularly beneficial if your vehicle is located in a crime-prone area or if you are worried about putting valuables in your car.

Keyless Start System

With the keyless ignition system you can unlock and start your car without an actual key. It uses a transponder on your smart fob to transmit an identification code that's authenticated by the vehicle's anti-theft device. When the smart fob is in the vehicle's range, it transmits a signal the car's antennas. This will triggers the engine similar to if you stuck a key into the ignition.

These systems are becoming more common in both domestic and imported vehicles. A single press starts the engine and switches on other electrical features like the radio. With a single push you can switch on the air cooling system. Pressing the button a second time will turn off the vehicle's electrical features, and pressing the button again using your foot on the brake will stop the engine.

Many drivers don't remember to put their car in "park", which has caused a few accidents. The majority of systems have safeguards to prevent this from happening. Some systems require you to flick the switch or turn it prior to pressing the start button. Others run pre-start checks to make sure that the car is in Park and your foot is securely on the brake. Other safety tips include reading the owner's manual, following basic safety practices and watching NHTSA video on keyless ignition.

Remote Control

This is done through the use of two sensors within your Kia keyfob, which communicates with the standard immobiliser system inside the car that is located in the engine control module (ECU).

When you press a button on your key fob it sends data to a generation 103 to indicate that a key for selection was pressed. The data generator generates trigger data that indicates the selected function and transmits it through a transmitter 104. The transmitter 104 alters the infrared lights based on the trigger information, and sends it to remote control interface 109.

The remote control interface 109 is a receiver 110 that takes modulated infrared lights and demodulates them so that it can recover the control codes that are contained in the carrier wave. The remote control interface 109 then transmits the control code the electronic device, which activates the desired function in accordance with the control code.
