This feature helps protect against unauthorised entry and lets the vehicle remain locked even if the driver accidentally leaves the vehicle outside.

The Display Key goes one step further than a standard fob by adding the ability to use a full-color touchscreen. The user is able to perform functions through the screen that they can’t accomplish with the standard fob. For instance they can create their own personal settings.
