[VanJayla]

There are several reasons that may cause this issue: The vehicle's steering wheel is in a locked state. The anti-theft chip in the car's remote key has malfunctioned. The vehicle's ignition switch is faulty. In such cases, avoid applying excessive force to turn the key, as it may lead to key breakage. Below are relevant details: Ignition Methods: The first ignition method involves using a traditional mechanical key to start the vehicle via the ignition switch. The second method utilizes a smart key, enabling one-button start to ignite the vehicle. The third method allows remote vehicle start via the car's remote control. The fourth method involves starting the vehicle through a mobile app. One-Button Start: One-button start can be retrofitted. Some vehicle models support a non-destructive retrofit for one-button start, while others require modifications to the vehicle's ignition switch wiring during the retrofit. When retrofitting one-button start, it is advisable to simultaneously install a keyless entry system, which enhances convenience during use.
