If I don’t know where my car’s keyless remote is, can I still find it?
Guest Post from the MIT School of Engineering’s Ask an Engineer series
Maybe if the remote is the appropriate kind, you have lots of time, and you have the necessary technical skills (but don’t get your hopes up)…
You’ve once again misplaced your automobile keys. You’re certain they’re in your home, but despite looking under the refrigerator and between the cushions of your couch, you were unable to locate them. You have a keyless remote that appears to be able to interact with your automobile, and you are wondering if there is a way to make it speak with you and let you know where it is. Theoretically, it is feasible, according to electrical engineering and computer science doctoral candidate Phillip Nadeau, “but it depends on the kind of remote-entry system we’re talking about. Even then, it can be difficult based on the manufacturer and technologies employed.
Keyless remotes come in two different categories.
Passive Keyless Entry (PKE) and Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) both operate in unique ways. Only when you push a button on the remote do RKE devices send a radio signal to your car. “These gadgets are often only equipped with a transmitter, says Nadeau. Unfortunately, this prevents you from calling the remote. It can’t hear you any more than a skeleton key can.
Your chances are improved if you have a PKE remote. You don’t have to press buttons with PKE devices to lock or unlock your automobile. According to Nadeau, the signal the automobile sends simultaneously powers the remote and requests a legitimate authentication number to open the car. Similar technology is used by RFID card scanners to grant you entrance to a building without requiring you to take your ID card out of your pocket. A PKE remote, in contrast to an RKE gadget, contains both a transmitter and a receiver, enabling it to hear you call it using special radio gear even though you’re simply pretending to be your automobile! Theoretically, you could create a special gadget that doubles as a radio transmitter and receiver, retransmitting the signal from your car and waiting for a response from your keys. However, if you have the technological know-how to build such a device, it should work. This is not a simple or cheap option.
According to Nadeau, as long as you have a lot of free time. “To elicit a response, the interrogator must be a short distance from the remote. Most of the time, this proximity restriction is beneficial. People may steal your automobile out of your driveway while the keys are safely inside your home if PKE remotes have a long range. However, it also means that in order to locate your keys, you will need to search every inch of your home with your tools. You might as well go back and rummage through that junk drawer one more time rather than spending the time and money developing some fancy radio equipment in order to find your keys.
