Keyless Entry

RKE (or keyless entry) is a method to unlock and lock your vehicle without the need for a car key. It is a result of a combination of radio signals that your car emits and a key fob that looks for them. When the fob is in the range of those signals, it transmits its own unique code back to the vehicle, which then unlocks or blocks the doors. This is the tech behind many modern vehicles, including sports cars, SUVs and electric models such as the Toyota GR Supra.

If you want to upgrade your Mini Cooper to include keyless entry, it's not difficult to do. Just make sure you get an upgrade kit from a brand who's been around for some time and has a good reputation for its quality. You'll also want to be sure to read the instructions thoroughly so you can install it properly without damaging any wires.

Certain kits come with features that allow you to connect your key fob to a mobile application or management cloud to provide additional functions like remote engine start and real-time tracking. This allows you to track your guests' experiences and improve efficiency, making your staff more productive particularly if they manage multiple units.

Keyless Start

Many manufacturers offer keyless entry systems that make it easier to get into and out of the vehicle. This feature is also known as KEYLESS Go and is similar to push-to-start (with some distinctions). To enable the feature, you must have your key fob in proximity to the vehicle. When you approach the vehicle, your key fob sends an indication to the car. If the vehicle detects the signal and determines that it is your keyfob it will open the doors or trunk.

Then, you can enter the vehicle and press the button to start the engine. When the engine is running, pushing the start/stop button once more will turn on your electrical items like the radio and a third time will shut everything off.

This technology is found in a variety of cars with a variety of options, including low-cost models. It's not a requirement for automobiles, but it's a good addition. It's especially helpful for those with arthritis or other conditions that make it difficult to hold the mechanical keys. Some systems will even lock your vehicle automatically when you walk away. The only drawback is that if one forgets to lock and close your car, it is possible for thieves to 'grab your key fob, open your doors, and take off with your vehicle.

Keyless Remote

Whether you are looking to make your car more convenient or want to increase your security the keyless entry system is worth a look. These systems rely on the radio signal to unlock your doors and also activate other features. These systems can help you keep track your keys so you don't leave them in your car. If you're experiencing issues with your keyless system you might want to consider changing the program or replacing the battery.

To operate, a keyless remote transmits a signal to a receiver module within your Mini that is interpreted by the sensors. The receiver module then interprets the signal and responds. If the sensor receives an error signal that it is unable to interpret, it won't react to it and your car will not respond to any commands received from the key fob.

The key receiver and transmitter modules of the key utilize a method of rolling code which means that every time the remote is used, the transmitted signal differs from the previous one. This prevents unauthorized transmissions being recorded and then used to gain access to a restricted area.


Keyless entry systems that utilizes rolling codes could be compromised by a technique known as replay attach. A malicious device placed close to the receiver in the protected area of a building or vehicle captures every signal transmitted and retransmits it a later time.
