What is passive entry?

Passive entry is a technology that allows a person to unlock and enter a vehicle without having to use a traditional key. Instead, the vehicle recognizes a key fob or a smartphone and automatically unlocks the doors when the person is in close proximity to the vehicle.

Passive entry systems typically use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to detect the presence of the key fob or smartphone. When the fob or phone is within a certain range, usually a few feet away from the vehicle, the doors will automatically unlock.

Some passive entry systems also include a push-button start feature, which allows the driver to start the vehicle without having to insert a key into the ignition. This adds an extra layer of convenience to the system.

Overall, passive entry systems provide a convenient and hassle-free way for drivers to access their vehicles, and they are becoming increasingly common in modern vehicles.
