Keyless Start System By pressing a button keyless start makes it simple to enter and start your vehicle without having to unlock the door using a physical key or reach into your pockets. The key fob sends a distinct signal to the ignition whenever the button is activated. The system is similar to the smart key.

It will also provide the starter circuit with power, which starts your engine. By pressing and pressing the button, you can shut down the system once the engine has begun. The same signal can be used to lock the doors so you can leave your car without having to be concerned about someone stealing your keys or being locked out. While many newer VW vehicles have the option of a keyless start as standard, older models have it as an optional feature.
