Interest In A Third-Party Keyless Entry System?


Recommended Posts

After my key stopped being able to unlock my doors and being frustrated with the high cost of diagnosing the problem let alone fixing it, I started considering designing and building a replacement system that would implement more features. If I go through the process of designing this, I'd like to know if people would be interested in purchasing such a system for themselves.

Some of the features that could be added:

-Longer range

-Decide what both buttons do on your remote (key button locks car, trunk button unlocks car, holding trunk button pops trunk)

-Open or crack the windows with your key

-Put the top up or down with your key

-Get feedback from your car to your key (alarm going off, cabin temp super hot so suggest to crack the windows, car battery low voltage)

-Connect to the system on your computer using a USB adapter

What do you guys think? Any other feature requests or ideas?

How much would you guys pay for something like this? $250 for the starter system (in-car module and one key) plus $50 for each additional key?

In your keys, the circuit board would be replaced with other electronics (although the transponder would stay):

On your car, the alarm module would stay, but electronics would be fit in between the wiring and the alarm module.

Interesting concept - I'd definitely be interested at that price point...features most important to me would be:

-Open the windows with your key

-Put the top up or down with your key

I live in FL, so it would be nice to vent the heat from a parked car.

I am on my second key fob - battery constantly drains out and no range...quit working completely a few weeks ago...i really would like to avoid going for key #3...
