The Difference Between Keyless Start and Keyless Entry
2 Answers
They operate on different principles. The keyless entry system is designed for entry purposes, controlling the doors; whereas keyless start can only start the vehicle without granting access to the system, controlling the engine. Below are introductions to keyless start and keyless entry: 1. The automotive keyless entry system utilizes the world's most advanced RFID radio frequency technology and vehicle identity coding recognition system. It pioneers the development of compact, low-power RF antenna solutions and successfully integrates remote control systems with keyless systems while maintaining traditional vehicle circuit protection. This achieves a true dual RF system with dual anti-theft protection, providing maximum convenience and security for car owners. 3. The keyless start system allows starting the vehicle without physically turning a key. Simply keep the key in your bag or pocket, then press a button inside the vehicle or turn the ignition knob to start the engine. This offers greater convenience while significantly enhancing the sense of luxury and technological sophistication.
Keyless entry refers to the feature where the vehicle doors automatically unlock or can be opened by simply pulling the handle when you approach the car, eliminating the need to use the key to operate the lock cylinder. It handles the door control aspect. Keyless start, on the other hand, allows you to start the engine by pressing a button inside the car without inserting and turning a key, focusing on the ignition system. The key difference lies in one providing convenience before entering the vehicle and the other handling the ignition operation after entry. I've been using this system for several years and find it very time-saving, but it's important to monitor the smart key's battery level, as low battery can cause malfunctions. It's recommended to check and replace the battery annually. Some people mistakenly think both functions are the same, but in reality, keyless start often relies on the state set by keyless entry. For example, locking the car and leaving before returning to start it is more secure. Modern vehicle designs integrate these two modules to work together but independently, and understanding them can make your driving experience smoother and more seamless.
