What is the Principle of the Car Key Induction Coil?

Car key identification induction coil chips have special diagnostic functions. When reading the key's security information, they can obtain historical data of the anti-theft system. When the car key is turned in the ignition switch, the engine control unit (ECU) in the vehicle sends a set of encrypted electronic code signals to the chip inside the car key. The vehicle is only allowed to start if the ECU unit can read and receive the correct anti-theft code signal in response. Relevant information about the car key's HOLD button is as follows: 1. Introduction: The HOLD button, when pressed for several seconds, opens the trunk, preventing the danger of accidentally opening the trunk while the vehicle is in motion, hence the name "HOLD." 2. Other Functions: The HOLD button is not just a trunk opener; it also serves as a remote engine start button. Within a certain remote distance, holding it for 2 to 3 seconds will automatically start the car. This feature is particularly useful in winter and summer for pre-adjusting the interior temperature.
Speaking of the principle of the car key induction coil, I find it quite fascinating—it's like an invisible chat room working between the car and the key. Simply put, the key contains a small coil, and there’s a similar one in the car body. When you approach the car, the coil inside the vehicle sends out a weak electromagnetic signal. The coil in the key senses this signal, activates, and transmits a short piece of password data. Once the car receives the correct password, the door unlocks or the engine starts. This principle stems from electromagnetic induction, where the coils exchange energy and information via a magnetic field without physical contact, greatly enhancing convenience. I’ve noticed this technology is also used in smartphones or access control systems—it’s quite common. If the key battery dies, the magnetic field induction fails, and you’ll need to use the backup mechanical key. But with proper maintenance, issues are rare. It really makes me appreciate how technology simplifies life.
