Products

One of the Product Family's flagship innovations is the smart key. Part of the new generation of hands-free keys, the smart key allows people to send information to their vehicle over a considerable distance (several hundred meters). The key's mini screen displays information such as whether the doors are locked and the alarm is activated, tire pressure, and the level of the fuel tank. The key can be used to preprogram the seat position or radio station, to pre-ventilate the cabin, or for many other functions requiring communication between the user and the vehicle.
