Keyless Entry

A keyless car entry system allows you to lock, unlock, or start your vehicle without using traditional keys. It also makes it possible for thieves to take your vehicle.

The problem is that the radio signal of a key fob can be picked up by criminals using so-called relay devices that can be purchased on the Internet for as little as PS100. These devices transmit your key's radio frequency to a different device close to your vehicle, which will then open your engine and begin it.

It's a common method to steal cars equipped with keyless entry systems, and it's why several manufacturers have taken steps to make the fobs more vulnerable. Ford's latest Fiesta and Focus models include an option to disable the wireless system for a period of 40 seconds if it does not detect movement on it. This makes it difficult for thieves to get the signal from your car.

In contrast to remote head keys, transponder keys are not required to include batteries because they utilize radio signals that are weak from the key and some power from the vehicle to send the signal. This means they do not require any power source external to them for operation and don't require any maintenance or repairs.

They are also considered to be more secure than conventional metal keys because they cannot be hacked using hot wiring methods, which are a common way of bypassing the keyless entry system in modern automobiles. Even if someone is able to hack the system, the transponder key is much more difficult to replicate than a traditional metal key since it uses a rolling code.
