What is a Car Keyless
Car keyless is a physical keyless access system that allows the driver to open the door and start the engine without having to insert the key into the ignition.
This technology uses radio waves such as RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) or Bluetooth to detect the presence of smart keys around the vehicle.
Nowadays, the keyless feature is not only available to owners of luxury cars but can be enjoyed in almost all middle-class to high-end cars.
How Car Keyless Works?
Although you may already have one, you may be wondering, how does keyless entry work?
Keyless entry system (opening doors without a key)
When a car owner approaches the vehicle with the smart key in their pocket or bag, the car automatically detects the signal from the smart key.
The car then sends an authentication request to the smart key. If the authentication code matches, the car door automatically opens when the door handle is touched.
Keyless ignition system (starting the engine without the key)
After getting into the car, the driver simply presses the Engine Start/Stop button while pressing the brake pedal. The car will check for the presence of the smart key in the cabin. If the smart key is detected, the car engine will start.
Conversely, if the smart key is outside the vehicle, the system will not allow the engine to start. This is what makes keyless technology safer than conventional keys.
The Features of Car Keyless
Car keyless has several main functions that make it easier and more convenient to use the vehicle. Here are some key functions of keyless entry technology in cars:
1. Anti-theft alarm
Keyless entry is often integrated with a car alarm system. If someone tries to open the car without permission or performs suspicious actions, the alarm will automatically activate and give a warning.
2. Opening and locking doors
The main function of keyless entry is to open and lock car doors without using a physical key. The car owner simply approaches the car with a valid smart key or fob and the doors will lock or unlock automatically.
3. Starting the engine
Many keyless entry systems are integrated with a “Push Button Start” system that allows the owner to start or stop the engine by simply pressing the start/stop button in the car. So you no longer need to insert the key into the ignition.
4. Remote start
Some car keyless entry systems also have a remote start feature that allows the car owner to start the engine remotely, usually through a smartphone app. This helps in heating or cooling the car interior without having to enter the car first.
5. Customization settings
Some cars with keyless entry allow owners to set personal preferences, such as seat settings, glass position, or car interior temperature, which will be adjusted automatically when the owner approaches the vehicle.
6. Access record
Some keyless entry systems can also record access data, such as who opened and locked the car door, which can be useful in certain situations or for security monitoring.
Car Keyless Regulations in Indonesia
Car keyless technology items circulated or sold in Indonesia must be certified by the Directorate General of Digital Infrastructure (DJID) under the Ministry of Communication and Digital (KOMDIGI).
This regulation is regulated in Ministerial Decree Number 260 of 2024, which requires all radio frequency-based devices, including car keyless, to meet certain technical standards before being marketed in Indonesia.
This certification guarantees that the contraption meets the security and quality rules set by the government and does not interfere with other communication contraptions in the region.
The certification handle is managed by the important aces and joins specialized testing, such as rehash adjustment, security of utilization, as well as contraption compatibility in the encompassing environment.
After all tests are completed, contraptions that pass will be recorded in a Test Result Report as the presentation of the capability to get transport allowed in Indonesia.
The Test Result Report guarantees that the contraption meets specialized centers of captivated and is secure for utilization by clients creating certainty in the thing in the publicize.
For companies wishing to publicize car keyless in Indonesia, Type Approval Certification Services for ICT Products are open to offer help with this arrangement.
