Before the invention of vehicle remotes, car doors were unlocked with a key. Most automakers now equip their vehicles with keyless remote systems to lock and unlock doors. Some remotes have a panic button, that when pressed will activate the horn and lights. Some remotes even have a remote start button, which allows the vehicle to be started from a distance, such as inside a building.
A Remote Skin is a water-resistant soft neoprene case, with a tough vinyl window that slips on to protect and provide visibility to the remote buttons. Remote skins make a broken remote shell usable again.
Most vehicle remotes require batteries; these vary in type, size and quantity by remote. Batteries can be tested to ensure correct voltage, as well as replaced as needed.
The actual remote used depends on the vehicle’s year, make and model. It also varies by the options on the vehicle, for example remote start, remote sliding doors, or remote lift gates.
