Transponder Key
Modern technology has enabled us to take advantage of a range of advantages in our vehicles. Transponder keys are among the advantages of modern technology. They allow you to start your vehicle with keys that have an embedded RFID chip. The chip sends a signal to the immobilizer which informs it that you have the correct key to drive your vehicle.

The chip in the key fob communicates with your vehicle's computer. This allows it to know that you have the correct key and permit it to start. This is a great way to feel assured about your vehicle's security.
Keyless Entry System
The keyless entry system is widely used on automobiles. This system uses radio signals instead of traditional keys that require the driver to insert the keys into the lock, turn them and then take them out. When the car is aware that the key fob is within range, it will allow entry into the vehicle or start the engine. Some systems allow the driver to open the windows and trunk by pressing a button on the fob.
It is more convenient to use a keyless lock especially in cold weather. This means you don't have to insert your keys into the lock, and this can protect against damage caused by dirt or ice to the lock mechanism. It is important to keep in mind that a car lock with a keyless system is not functional when there is a power outage or if the vehicle's battery is dead. Consequently, it is recommended to keep an emergency key in the vehicle's glove box.
Another benefit of keys that are not used is that it offers more security than a regular key. Certain systems, like will lock the vehicle when the driver steps off, and will stop the engine if the driver forgets. These features can be especially beneficial if your vehicle is parked near a high-crime area or if you are worried about putting valuables into the car.
Keyless Start System
Keyless start lets you open and start your vehicle without using a mechanical ignition key. It makes use of the transponder on your smart device to transmit an identification number that is verified by the vehicle's anti theft system. If the smart fob is within proximity of the vehicle, it transmits a signal the car's antennas. They is then used to start the engine, exactly as if you stuck a key into the ignition.
These systems are becoming more popular in both domestic and imported vehicles. Pressing a button starts the engine and switches on other electrical features such as the radio. You can even switch on the air conditioning by pressing a button. The second time will turn off the car's electrical features, pressing the button once more with your foot on the brake will stop the engine.
However there are many drivers who fail to place their vehicle in "park" before exiting, and this has led to a few injuries. Fortunately, all systems come with safeguards to avoid this issue. Some systems require you to turn the switch or turn it before pressing the start button. Others perform pre-start checks to ensure the vehicle is in Park and that your foot is securely on the brake. Other safety tips include reading your owner's guide, following the basic safety guidelines and watching the NHTSA's video on keyless ignition systems.

When you press a key on your key fob, it sends data to the data generation 103 that indicates the key that was press. The data generator 103 generates trigger information that indicates the selected function, and then transmits it to a transmitter. G28 based on the trigger data, and transmits it to a remote control interface 109.
The remote control interface 109 has a receiver 110 which receives infrared lights that are modulated and demodulates them in order to recover the control codes contained in the carrier wave. The remote control interface transmits the control codes to the electronic device that activates the desired functions according to the code.
