13-08-2018 by Terry Young - A proximity key (also named Push-to-Start, Push Button Start.Keyless Access.Keyless Entry, Intelligent Key or Keyless Go) is a device that authorizes a key-less door access and engine igniting in your car.

When user is within the appropriate radius, the intelligent key communicate using RF waves with your vehicle's computer to lock and open car doors and even to turn on the engine having the key in the pocket.

Way back in 1998, Mercedes-Benz was the first to outfit this system in a vehicle.

At present, motor vehicle owners can take advantage of smart keys and push to start ignition on nearly all motor vehicle models and enjoy functionality as power windows, car theft avoidance protection, remote start, mirror adjustment and many more.
