keyless entry

No-key unlock

Keyless entry is a system that unlocks a vehicle or building without inserting a physical key.

The driver or occupant carries a fob or card that communicates wirelessly with the lock: I love keyless entry—I just walk up and the car unlocks.

Most systems also allow keyless ignition via push-button start.
