This is an awesome technology that makes locking and unlocking your car easier and fast. You don’t have to use the traditional mechanical key you’ve always known to lock and unlock your car.

Most modern cars are equipped with this feature which uses short range transmitter to function.
All you have to do to unlock your car is: put your car key in your pocket, just walk like about 5 feet to your car, your car will recognize you as the owner and the doors will automatically unlock for you.

When you get in your car, close the doors, push the start button and there you go, the car will start without any key insertion.





2. Steering Wheel Mounted Controls:
