keyless entry or hands free keyless entry?

Yuhki posted this in the asia forum:

Just FYI.

I checked with my sales rep. The key less entry system is standard.
On the other hand, "hands free" key less entry system is optional.
don't have time to elaborate right now. any thoughts?

I would doubt that it has anything to do with bluetooth. There's no need for it.

There are a couple of solutions that basically include a keyfob (or maybe a credit card sized item) that will transmit a code to the car when it is within a certain range (a few feet, not several yards), thereby unlocking the car when you get close enough, or opening the trunk, etc. etc. I would expect it to be something more along the lines like that, which would require relatively simple codes (like those already in use with keyless entry systems) instead of a whole encryption system like bluetooth.

So you can never tell if the car is locked because every time you go near it the doors are open.

Well, on a serious note, that can get awkward for some people. But you can look at the alarm LED to see if it's flashing to tell.
