Some of the most advanced systems have remote keyless ignition (RKI) that allows you to start your engine and can activate ten additional electronic accessories.

These systems utilize radio signals that come from your vehicle. These signals are then picked up by the receiver located in the key fob.

Mechanical Keys

Modern cars do not use mechanical keys. Instead, they utilize an RFID chip embedded within a key to identify it and communicate with the system of the car to start and function. A mechanical key will open the doors and access the fuel cap, but if it has not been programmed to communicate with the vehicle, it won't start.

The system makes use of LF (low-frequency that is 125 milliseconds), transmitting antennas, both inside and outside the vehicle. These antennas communicate with the smart keys. If the key is close enough to activate one of these antennas, it transmits its ID back to the car using RF (radio frequency of 300 MHz or more). The PASE module checks the key and turns off the immobilizer, allowing the vehicle to start.

A backup mechanical option is also available in the event that the smart key's battery runs down or fails. A lot of manufacturers conceal the emergency mechanical blade behind a cover to make it look more attractive.
