Bentley digital keys must be reprogrammed periodically by authorised locksmiths. This is a security feature that prevents duplicate keys that are not authorized.

Remote keyless entry system

If you'd like to drive your Bentley Bentayga and not have to fumble around for your keys, you'll need a remote-keyless entry system. This kind of technology utilizes radio waves that are short-range to unlock and start your vehicle. The key fob sends an electronic signal to a receiver inside your car. The receiver then transmits the signal to the ignition and locks of your car to unlock. The remote allows you to control the climate and lights of your vehicle. It's the perfect way to eliminate the frustration of having to dig your keys out of your pocket in the dark.

But the system hasn't been impervious to flaws. Car thieves have cracked the system, and some insurance companies refuse to cover vehicles fitted with keyless entry. The problem isn't confined to expensive cars; even the humble Ford Fiesta can be hacked by using a cheap PS10 programming devices.

The security of the smart key is built on its ability to transmit an encrypted and unique code each time it opens a trunk or door. This makes it impossible for tech-savvy thieves to "replay" these signals and unlock the vehicle. The system also has a backup, by way of a second key blade that can be used to operate the car in case the primary key fob is damaged or lost. This is crucial because smart keys are battery-operated and eventually deplete their power.

Although some older vehicles can be duplicated using the dashboard console, Bentley keys aren't as easily copied. A key programmer that is specifically designed for bentley key is required, which can be bought only through a Bentley dealer. The new key must be able to communicate with the main computer of the vehicle, and must reject the original.

Bluetooth connectivity

Smart keys utilize a low-frequency transmission to open doors and start engines. How Stuff Works Electronics says that if the driver is far away from their vehicle, someone might pick up the signal to take it. To protect against this, Bentley smart keys are designed to transmit a different frequency signal each time a door is opened or a trunk is opened remotely. They also come with an emergency battery to start the car in case it was stolen.

Battery backup

Other possible causes of the remote keyless entry system not working are damaged buttons, signal interference or water damage.

The battery that powers the auxiliary can last for up to 3 hours, so there's no need to worry about getting stuck on the side of the highway. The battery can be used to lock and unlock the Bentley without the use of a key.
