What Is Proximity Key?
by Danny Barington -
A proximity key (also named Smart Key, Intelligent Key, Push-to-Start or Keyless Go) is a remote shaped device that permits a automatic entry and engine igniting in your car.
When owner is within the proper radius, the proximity fob interacts through combination of audio and infrared waves with your immobilized computer to lock and open car doors and even to start up the car engine with the key in the pocket.
In 1998, Mercedes-Benz was the first car-maker to present this technology in their vehicles.
Currently, automobile drivers can utilize proximity keys and push-to-start ignition on most auto motives and use functions such as remote start, alarm, automatic door closing and opening, power windows and many more.
