Vehicle key
The key has a mechanically coded hinged bit for the
lock cylinder in the driver’s door and the tailgate/
boot lid. The transponder function is integrated into
the electronics and also works without a battery.
An integrated battery powers the electronics for the
radio remote control and Advanced Key functions.
A new feature here is the bi-directional data
exchange between the radio-control key and the
control unit for access and start authorisation via
the antenna for central locking and anti-theft
warning system R47. This is used to transfer the
status of the central locking system into the key.
If a button outside of the function range of the key
is pressed, the LED integrated in the key shows the
lock status of the vehicle. The lock status displayed
is always the status, which was achieved using this
key when central locking was last actuated.
If the vehicle is opened or locked in the interim
period using a second key, this does not change the
lock status in the first key.
Furthermore, the radio frequency is changed from
433 MHz to 868 MHz for the first time in many
countries. This radio frequency is ideal for data
communication between vehicle keys and the
control unit.
Since this frequency can only be used for very short
transmission pulses, any interference from
long-term radio transmitters, such as baby phones,
wireless headsets, etc. is eliminated.
