Keyless Entry

A lot of modern cars are equipped with key fobs that allow owners to unlock and start their vehicle without the need to insert an actual key into the ignition barrel.

Key fobs have a variety of built-in features, some which owners are not even aware of, but can be extremely useful when needed.

Some key fobs include a "Panic Button". The purpose of this button is to scare off potential thieves, especially if they are in a remote area like an underground parking garage. Although it's not foolproof but it could help discourage criminals from attempting to steal your car or even gaining entry into your home. A push of the panic button will trigger an alarming sound that will alarm anyone who is near it.
