has anybody tried or thought about Autoloc keyless entry and start?
so i've been driving a friend's new Lexus IS250, with keyless entry and push button start. I've always known about these keyless entry and start systems, but using it is really really awesome. Not fumbling for keys is the way to go.
The only pre-packaged system that I could find is from Autoloc (http://www.autoloc.com/catalog/Handf...-Keyless-Entry)
You would have to use their push button, but i'm sure it wouldn't be hard to rewire the existing OEM push button into the Autoloc system. I have a kpro, so immobilizer is not a problem, but i'm sure you can just add an immobilizer bypass if you wanted to get it to work with an OEM CPU.
A search for Autoloc on S2ki shows that most ppl are installing the auto up and down windows... so posting this to see if any has done this autoloc keyless entry or has thought about it...

Cool idea! I was thinking about something like this the other day. I wonder how close our key chip/transponder has to be to the car for it to read it... If it reads from a decent distance, you could leave a cut key in the ignition (without transponder) put the transponder (maybe in the remote fob) on your key-chain. Wouldn't be as simple as that product but could mean I don't have to reach into my pocket.
Anyone have experience with where the transponder needs to be for the car to recognize it? In my old car, it would work in my pocket with a cheap cut key in the ignition.

Also, in your scenario of separating the immobilizer chip from the key, leaving the key in the ignition doesn't really simplify things. You'd still need to turn the lock cylinder from off to the second position, which kinda defeats the purpose, except that you could carry one less key I guess. (no offence intended tho
My goal is to have the key in your pocket at all times and just be able to unlock, enter and start the car without reaching for anything, as long as the key is on your person. I really like how on the new Lexus models, you just touch the inside of the door handle for the door to unlock. On the more expensive models, you can even unlock the passenger doors by touching the door handle a second time. After more searching, Autoloc sells a product called UltraTouch (https://www.google.ca/search?aq=1&oq...visible+switch) which you could install to emulate the Lexus "touch the inside of the door handle" unlocking function when combined with the Autoloc Keyless entry.
In theory, the car would sense the transponder when you get near, but remain locked until you trigger the "unlock" signal by touching the Invisible Switch. Of course, the invisible switch is kinda overkill, as it would be sufficient for the car to unlock once you got near, but I kinda like the fact that you would have to touch the handle before unlocking the door. That way, you can fine tune the system, so that the car wouldn't just open for anybody, but only the person with the transponder on their person (perhaps by placing the receiver near the doors and trunk)
I've e-mailed autoloc about my needs and they said to give them a call directly to better describe what my final end result is. If this project gets off the ground, i'll keep you guys updated!
One thing that sets aside our aging S2000 from modern luxury cars are creature comforts such as keyless entry and start.
