PKE-Passive Keyless Entry

'PKE', or Passive Keyless Entry is a very popular feature on later model high end vehicles, but thanks to Directed and one of the world's best names in car security, Viper - it's now available for your own car. The innovative new PKE lets users unlock their car doors simply by walking up to their vehicle, or walking away to lock – because when your arms are loaded with heavy bags, who has time to search around for their keys?

“Consumers can use this PKE system anywhere in virtually any system -- this is a remarkable accomplishment by our engineers.” said Peter Fazi, VP Business Development. Directed Electronics.

Factory Passive Keyless Entry devices are becoming more common, but the ability to purchase an aftermarket PKE device compatible with virtually any vehicle is a true innovation. The system requires no buttons to be pressed to gain access to the vehicle and, when used with a compatible Viper security system. will also arm and disarm the aftermarket security system.

For the tech readers, what makes the PKE unique is Directed’s proprietary “Data-to-Data” D2D port, making the PKE faster and easier to install. The PKE also offers an RF pass-through, which means it can be used with any Viper systems by simply plugging it in – with no additional wires to connect.

The PKE and Viper SmartStart can be connected together through the D2D port, allowing users to benefit from the passive keyless entry feature and also allowing the user to control the car through their smartphone. Alternatively, the PKE can be installed standalone and offer many value-added features such as horn and parking light control as well as starter kill for added security.
