Bentley Smart Key
Bentley's smart keys come with unique features that can handle unique situations. If the key is placed in the trunk for example it will be in a position to start your car. It will also inform you when the battery is not fully charged.
Bentley digital keys require regular reconfiguration by authorized locksmiths. This is a security measure which prevents duplicate keys without authorization.
Remote keyless entry system
If you'd like to operate your Bentley Bentayga and not have to fumble around for keys, you'll require a remote keyless entry system. This technology makes use radio waves that are within a narrow range to lock and start the vehicle. The key fob sends a signal to a receiver inside your car. The receiver transmits the signal to the ignition of your car and locks to unlock. The remote can also be used to control your car's light and climate controls. It's a great way to avoid the stress of having to find your keys in your pocket in the dark.
But the system isn't infallible. Certain insurance companies won't cover vehicles with keyless entry since criminals have hacked it. The issue isn't limited to expensive models either and even the cheapest Ford Fiesta can be hacked using cheap PS10 programming tools.
The security of a smart key is built on the fact that it sends out an encrypted signal that is different each time it opens a trunk or door. This makes it harder for thieves with the latest technology to unlock the vehicle by "replaying" these signals. The system comes with a backup in the form an additional key blade that can be used in the case that the primary fob is damaged or lost. Smart keys operate on batteries, and eventually, they will be power-depleted.
TheKeyLab offers the stolen vehicle tracker service to help you find your car in the event of theft. It utilizes a GPS device to locate the location of your vehicle, and it also informs authorities if you're in danger. The device is easy to use and is accessible by anyone. It is important to remember that the battery will have to be replaced at some point. This will increase the total cost of the device.
A luxury vehicle of high-end quality such as a Bentley might cost more than $100,000, but this does not prevent thieves from trying to steal it. In fact, a woman of 52 was recently caught on video and stealing the 2016 Bentley in Clearwater. The theft is likely to be the result of an attack that tricks the car's electronic systems into believing that the key fob is in.
While older cars can be duplicated via the dashboard console Bentley keys aren't as easily copied. A key programmer that is specifically designed for Bentley is required, and can be purchased only through a Bentley dealer. This is because the new key has to be capable of communicating with the main computer of the vehicle and reject the previous key.
Bluetooth connectivity
Smart keys come with a low-frequency radio that can be used to open doors and start cars. But if the driver is too far away from their vehicle, anyone could detect the signal and use it to steal it, according How Stuff Works Electronics. To prevent this, Bentley smart keys are designed to transmit a different frequency signal every time a door opens or trunk is opened remotely. They also have an additional battery to help start the car if it was stolen.
Battery backup
It can be a huge inconvenience if your Bentley Flying Spur's key fob stops functioning. The most common cause of this issue is a dead battery which you can replace in a matter of minutes. Other possible causes for the remote keyless entry system not working include damaged buttons, signal interference, or water damage.
Fortunately, this model has an auxiliary battery to aid in the start of the vehicle in case an outage. Place the key in the ignition to activate the battery that acts as an auxiliary power source.
The battery can last for up to 3 hours, so there's no need to be concerned about being stranded on the side of a highway. The battery can be used to lock and unlock the Bentley without the use of a key.
