Proximity Keys
Proximity keys are among the most recent keyless entry technologies, which are now being used on a variety vehicles. The key fob is put in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob then communicates with the car, disengaging the immobiliser and allowing the engine to start.
