keyless entry

yeehaw SG

i know of a couple of cars that have the keyless entry feature. common ones are the Renault Megan, Honda S2000(hardly see any in singapore though, heh).

Anymore? keyless entry is kinda cool man. just a hit of a button to ignite the engine...rawr....do tell me if i have mistaken that keyless entry also means starting the engine without using a key.

THANKS! Very Happy

I think its keyless ignition you're referring to. Laughing Keyless entry is like for the doors.

keyless ignition works on a proximity card system. You get a credit sized car which you put in your wallet. When you are within proximity of your car, the car unlocks. Engine ignition is activated through a button, but it'll only work when the card is within proximity.

Mercedes Benz is generally the marque credited for popularizing this system. Perhaps you can just waltz into their showroom and ask for a demonstration on the S Class? I'm sure they'll be quite happy to oblige.

On a side note, they're available as aftermarket parts. I saw their booth at some autoshow few years back, but haven't been able to find them since.

yea, i've heard that Benz was the one who popularised the keyless thingy. Aftermarket parts you say? hmm...thanks for sharing. Very Happy

Benz always the forefront of car technology. They started the double glaze windows craze. ABS too. Laughing

[email protected] hisoka. nice one la. it's not the metal(or whatever alloy/metal) key we're talking about here. the card is used in place of a key. then again...it's still a 'key' idea unless you tell me your ride uses biometric lor then i give you thumbs up.

Then switch off the engine, come out the car, open the hood, check the engine, suay suay cut my thumb or some other fingers how? Laughing

Smile eh if you do find out who's the supplier for aftermarket keyless ignition systems, do inform me k'?

I know some places stock up with those key code keyless ignitions, which requires you to press the start button with a certain sequence of pauses, but i don't think they afford you the same convenience as proper keyless ignitions.

there is also another system i've read up a while ago, just requires a thumbprint to start the engine..

it was in the news that a Singaporean businessman was driving in his merc to Malaysia, then got robbed.

frustrated that they couldn't start up the engine, they chopped off his thumb as well.

do correct me if i'm wrong.

Technology and its flaws. Laughing

sunnyMAN SG

lol chk engine can cut finger..come out of car key also can drop into drain..

so which one is more risky?? drop key into drain or cut off thumb while just checking your engine compartment??

praticality??to me, its definitely more pratical to haf a keyless entry system..go supermarket shopping..carry alot of things..can jus open door and drive off without reaching for ur keys???

dryver SG

if can reach for doors means can reach for keys what... Rolling Eyes

chill people. this topic isn't about the advantages or disadvantages of keyless entry. it's about cars that have the keyless entry feature. Laughing but...point taken Very Happy
