What Is a Keyless Entry Remote?
A keyless entry remote is a device that allows the user to gain access to a vehicle or automated garage door by pressing a button on a designated key fob. The keyless entry remote will transmit radio waves over a specified frequency, along with a set code that the vehicle or garage system will accept to unlock the doors. This code may remain the same each time the remote is used, or it may change regularly to increase security, and prevent potential thieves from copying the signal. A keyless entry remote will only work with a vehicle that has power door locks, along with a keyless entry system installed. Most of these vehicles will come with one or two keyless entry remotes when purchased. If these keys are ever lost or damaged, the fob is much more expensive to replace them than a traditional car key.
