Where is the key sensing area for the 10th generation Accord?

Under normal circumstances, the remote key for the 10th generation Accord can function properly at a distance of over 10 meters. Introduction to remote keys: A remote key utilizes the wireless remote function of the central locking system, allowing doors to be opened or locked from a distance without inserting the key into the keyhole. Working principle of remote keys: Simply put, the working principle involves the key emitting a weak radio wave, which is received by the car's antenna. The electronic control unit (ECU, Electronic-Control Unit) then identifies the signal code, and the system's actuator (motor or electromagnetic coil) executes the locking/unlocking action.
After driving the 10th-gen Accord for so long, I've noticed the key sensing area is mainly on the door handle. You just need to touch that small button when approaching the car to unlock it – super convenient. One winter when the key battery was running low, the system prompted me to place it on the sensing point at the bottom of the center armrest, right next to the cup holders, to start the engine. That experience was quite practical, so now I regularly check the key battery level. For daily driving, I recommend carrying spare batteries and avoiding keeping the key and phone in the same pocket, as signal interference can cause issues. The sensing locations are thoughtfully designed, saving you from rummaging through bags for keys – perfect for rushed mornings.
