What Is Proximity Key?
by Robert Douglas -
A proximity key (also named Push Button Start.Keyless Access.Keyless Entry, Smart Key, Intelligent Key or Keyless Go) is a remote shaped device that authorizes a keyless entrance and ignition mechanism in your car.
When user is within the proper distance, the key-less entry interacts through RF waves with your automotive to lock and unlock doors and trunk and even to start the engine with the key in the pocket.
Way back in 1998, Mercedes-Benz was the first auto manufacturer to present this system in the automotive industry.
This days, vehicle drivers can utilize push-button start ignition and smartkeys on nearly all vehicle models and use functions such as automobile theft opposing protection, mirror adjustment, automatic door opening or closing, power windows and many more.
