Keyless Entry

Keyless entry lets you unlock your car and then start it without needing to insert your key into the lock. The system works by using radio signals that are emitted from the vehicle and a key fob which searches for these signals. If the key fob falls within range of the radio signals, it transmits a code back that unlocks the door and disarms your vehicle's standard immobiliser which is located in the engine control module (ECU).

Certain systems also have remote ignition features that allows you to start your car with a key fob or a button on the dashboard panel. This feature is extremely useful in times when you must go out and buy groceries, or when keys are locked inside.

Immobiliser

The Immobiliser (or Engine Immobiliser) is a built-in anti-theft system that blocks your vehicle from starting without having a key. It works by matching the digital code on the key fob or the key to the unique code that is embedded in your vehicle's ECU. When these codes are compatible then the ECU activates the fuel system and ignition circuit. If the codes do not match, your car will not start when the fuel pump is not working or ignition is not working.

While the Immobiliser does prevent most thieves from hot-wiring or even starting your car, it is not foolproof and is easily defeated by determined criminals. It is essential to take other precautions such as keeping valuables hidden and not leaving them inside the car when you're away.

Another way to protect yourself is to utilize a faraday pouch that will block the signal between the key fob and the car's electronics and make it impossible for criminals to intercept and copy the signal. The newest Suzuki models also include an additional security feature that requires the key to be placed close to the ignition while turning it on.

Despite these precautions the modern immobilisers are vulnerable to attacks from expert criminals. In one study conducted by researcher Jaap Bokslag aimed to steal three vehicles that were popular and then crack the immobiliser within six minutes using known flaws in the system.
