Keyless Go is a keyless access system that makes it possible to open, start and lock a vehicle without actively using the key. This technology is increasingly becoming standard equipment in modern vehicle fleets , especially in company cars in the mid and upper segments.
How Keyless Go works
The system automatically detects when an authorized radio key is near the vehicle. As soon as someone approaches the car, it can be unlocked by touching the door handle. To start the system, simply press a button inside the car. The key only needs to be in the vehicle. There is no need to insert or turn it.
Advantages for the fleet
Keyless Go offers several advantages in the everyday life of a vehicle fleet:
- High level of comfort when getting in and out, especially for many short journeys
- Saves time, as there is no need to search for the key
- Modern appearance of the vehicle
- Efficient access for shared pool vehicles
Safety aspects
Despite the convenience, Keyless Go also entails security risks. Using so-called range extenders, criminals can intercept the radio signal and open or start the vehicle even though the key is not nearby. This is a well-known theft method, especially in urban areas.
Protective measures
The following measures should be considered to protect the vehicle fleet from misuse:
- Key pockets with signal blocking
- Systems with automatic deactivation of the signal in idle mode
- GPS tracking in the event of theft
- Informing vehicle users about safety risks
Conclusion
Keyless Go provides more convenience and efficiency in the vehicle fleet, but at the same time requires increased security measures. Anyone who relies on this technology should also be aware of the risks and take appropriate protective measures.
