10 Startups Set To Change The Car Seat Key Industry For The Better
Car Keys For Aging Parents and Loved Ones

Caregivers of their elderly loved ones sometimes find themselves facing difficult choices. If an aging parent or loved one is driving unsafely or is driving recklessly, it might be the right time to get rid of the keys to their car.

Many vehicles have a driver's setting that is configured to a specific key. This feature is particularly useful when multiple people share the vehicle.

Transponder Keys

Transponder keys are found in most modern cars. They provide an additional layer of security that metal keys made of flat metal can't. They are tiny microchips in the key that transmit signals to the car's immobilizer system that allows it to start only when a valid, working key is within reach. This technology has helped reduce car thefts around the world.

It's not an absolute guarantee. Professional thieves have devised methods to alter the signals and still hotwire vehicles. They also have the ability to repurpose cut key blanks and design their own transponder keys. Therefore, even if your car is equipped with a transponder key, it's worth getting a spare.

A reputable locksmith will make keys for you at a fraction of the cost of a dealership for cars. They will look over your key to determine the best methods of programming and copying. TheKeyLab can be programmed to work with your vehicle.

A reputable locksmith may also be able to assist you with "flat" or non-transponder keys. These keys connect to your car through mechanical means not electronic technology. These keys are easy for children to play with, and therefore they're less secure. They are also easily copied by anyone who has an instrument for cutting keys.


Smart Keys Keys

Smart keys are a type key fob that can be found in many modern vehicles. They serve the same functions as a remote control but they also come with additional features. Smart keys are able to lock and unlock your car from a distance, without pressing any buttons. They can also be used to start your engine. These features function even if you have the key in your pocket or purse.

One of the best parts about smart keys is that they're very secure. The signals they project are encrypted, which means that hackers can't make use of them to steal your car. Furthermore, a computer inside your vehicle validates the rolling code projected by the smart key before it begins the engine.

You may encounter some bugs since the technology is in development. If your phone and key are too close to each other, the functioning signals of your phone could interfere with any signal transmitted by your smart key.

Some smart keys come with an incredibly small color touchscreen. For example, BMW developed the Display Key with a screen that lets the driver perform a range of functions using the key fob including locking, unlocking and even starting. The key also alerts user when the battery is low and recommends the replacement from your dealer.

Keyless Entry

If you don't want to go as far as a transponder, or smart key, you can lock and unlock your vehicle by pressing one button. These systems utilize radio waves, or RF to signal an inside receiver. Depending on the technology employed, the signal can also be used to start the engine of the vehicle and deactivate the alarm system for security purposes.

Keyless entry eliminates the need to hide spare keys, which can be an important security risk for thieves. It also stops you from worrying about losing or misplacing your car's key, which can happen to anyone at any point. But you should still update the code on a regular basis to avoid compromising your security.

You can use the app for your key fob or physical key fob to transmit a radio signal in the range of 315 Megaherz. The signal is encrypted and scrambled before it's sent out, which means that even if hackers intercept it the signal, they won't be in a position to gain permanent access to your car.

Certain keyless entry kits include the option of passive engine start, which means the vehicle will continue to run and start the engine when the key isn't in range. This is a security feature that's designed to keep your car from running out of gas, as well as to keep harmful fumes from getting into the cabin.

Remote Start

If your car is parked in your driveway or on the street remote start systems give you peace of head and convenience. The system transmits the signal to the RES module of the vehicle by pressing a button or using an application.

The system can also be used with other features in your vehicle, such as opening and closing windows, or altering the temperature of the seats. Certain systems are more flexible and feature auxiliary channels that can be used to control things like power-assisted steering wheels automatic climate control, and rear defrost.

The good news is that most seats manufactured after 1995 have transponders embedded in the key. This means that the majority of the newer models are compatible with remote-start systems. However, some older Seat models will require a key that has a more basic transponder chip and won't work with any remote-start systems.

Many parents have experienced the moment when they are reaching back into the car seat of their child but cannot get enough strength to press the release button in the red color. A company called NAMRA has come up with a solution to this issue making it simpler to remove the buckle even if you have a hard time pressing down on the buckle with your thumb.
