Keyless entry
Replacement keyless entry remote controls are available at the bottom of this page along with complete systems. A remote entry system allows the car owner to unlock the doors or the trunk from outside of the vehicle without using the key. There are two main components to this convenient option. The electronic control module and a coded button keypad on the driver's door or a remote key fob type transmitter in most cases. Also some remote entry systems will turn on the interior lights when they are activated to aid entry and exit from the vehicle at night. On most of these systems, the electronic control module will typically unlock all of the doors, unlock the trunk as well as lock all of these entry points. The most popular Remote keyless entry types rely on a hand-held transmitter.
Frequently this is part of the remote key fob. You control the operation with a press of the button on the transmitter from up to 50 feet away depending on the strength of the transmitter. The convenience of the key fob transmitter allows the interior lights to be turned on, the driver's door to be unlocked and the theft security system to be disarmed. In some cases, the key fob will also be able to unlock and release the trunk. In reverse, the key fob transmitter will also lock the doors and arm the alarm system at the same time.
Advanced onboard electronicsThe latest systems are capable of changing their access codes each time the remote is used. This handy feature is like changing the cars lock combination automatically after every push of the lock or unlock button.They may also be capable of setting off the alarm system in the case of an emergency. There is usually a button on the remote control key fob that says panic. This will activate that feature and your car will scream for help right along with you.
Keyless entry benefitsMost vehicle break-ins are on automobiles with unlocked doors. Many criminals will walk up and down rows of cars trying the doors to see if someone has left their vehicle unprotected.
If you were a car thief or a burglar you would probably do the same thing. Why break into a car if you can find one with the doors already open. Locks are designed to deny entry to the engine the passenger compartment and the trunk of the car as well as to prevent a thief from driving away with the whole automobile. To prevent theft manufacturers use specially cut keys that cannot be easily duplicated. And the lock cylinder mechanisms for these keys are extremely difficult to pick.
Car owners that have these types of systems are more likely to lock their doors than people without them. If you have the opportunity to purchase a vehicle with a entry system this would be the way to go. If you do not have a vehicle with this convenience installed you can add a complete system with a remote key fob to your vehicle. Note that this will be a lot easier if the vehicle is already equipped with power locks.
