Can I Use Tracking If I Lose My Car Key?

[Maggie]

You cannot use tracking if you lose your car key. A remote key utilizes the wireless remote control function of the central locking system, allowing you to unlock or lock the car doors from a distance without inserting the key into the lock. In simple terms, the working principle is as follows: first, the key emits a weak radio wave, which is received by the car's antenna. The electronic control unit then identifies the signal code, and the system's actuator (either a motor or an electromagnetic coil) performs the locking or unlocking action. Below are three methods to deal with a lost car key: 1. Spare Key: You can use a spare key; 2. Seek Professional Help: Contact a professional locksmith to unlock the car; 3. Configure a New Key: Visit a 4S shop to configure a new key and deactivate the old one.
