If you have a PKE remote, your odds are better. It’s as unable to hear you as a skeleton key. Unfortunately, this means there’s no way to call the remote. “These devices are generally only equipped with a transmitter,” explains Nadeau. RKE devices send a radio signal to your car only when you press a button on the remote. There are two main types of keyless remotes-Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), and Passive Keyless Entry (PKE)-that work in different ways. And even then, it could be tough depending on the manufacturer and technology used.” candidate in electrical engineering and computer science, “but it depends on the type of remote-entry system we’re talking about. “In theory, it is possible,” says Phillip Nadeau, a Ph.D. You have a keyless remote that seems to communicate with your car, and you wonder if maybe there’s a way to get it to communicate with you and tell you where it is. ![]() You’re sure they’re in your house, but you’ve already checked between your couch cushions and on top of the fridge, and you can’t find them anywhere. Maybe-if it’s the right type of remote and you have plenty of time and technical know-how (but don’t get your hopes up)… ![]() Guest Post from the Ask an Engineer series, published by MIT’s School of Engineering
