What Is Proximity Key?
by Jimmy Dawson -
A proximity key (also named Intelligent Key, Smart Key, Keyless Go or Push-to-Start) is a remote shaped device that permits a key-less entrance and ignition mechanism in your vehicle.
When owner is within the relevant distance, the key-less entry interacts through radio-frequency waves with your car computer to lock and unlock doors and trunk and even to crank the car engine having the key in the pocket.
30 years ago in 1998, Mercedes-Benz was the first to present this system in the market.
At present, auto motive drivers can take advantage of keyless entry devices and push start ignition on nearly every cars and use operations as vehicle theft opposing protection, mirror adjustment, automatic door locking and unlocking, remote start and many more.
