Keyless entry systems are exactly what they sound like. They are systems which allow you KEY – LESS (no key) entry. This is accomplished by an electric locking motor in the door and a form of a remote device that communicating with the vehicle allowing unlocking of the door remotely.

Advantages of having a keyless entry system over manually unlocking your doors are: It’s very common for door handles to have scratches around them on the paint from fumbling with your keys, especially at night. Alot of times the vehicles ignition key and door key is the same key. Less wear/tear ensures you won’t be stranded unable to start your car because of a bent/damaged key. It’s much more convenient to unlock your vehicle REMOTELY when your hands are full or when its raining than attempting to unlock it manually with a key.

There are a few different types of keyless entry systems around. Some of these types include:

• Remote controlled lock / unlock
• Door mounted Keypad lock / unlock
• Promixity detection (aka smart keys) where once you get close enough to the vehicle it auto-unlocks or allows you to push button unlock.
• Smartphone integration controlling your vehicles locks remotely with a smartphone.
• GPS remote keyless entry.
• Hidden button keyless entry system (common on hot rods and custom show vehicles)
• and even some systems that unlock via bluetooth with some cell phones.
