Suppliers use smartphone applications and developments in display and battery technology to secure a promising future for enhanced key fobs...
Over the past few years, vehicle manufacturers have introduced key fobs that do more than just lock and unlock the vehicle. With the advent of smart key and complex authentication technologies, communication between the key fob and the car has evolved into two-way transmissions.
However, adoption of more complex functions on production vehicle has been very limited due to reluctance from vehicle manufacturers concerned about poor battery life and display functionality. SBD's latest research report entitled, Enhanced Key Fobs – The Driver Interface Outside the Vehicle investigates present and future technological developments as well as including specific sections dedicated to supplier concepts and vehicle manufacturers' products.
This report will help you: - Improve customer experience of key fob usage by understanding the technology available - Understand the importance of offering enhanced key fobs and what consumers want from the technology - Recognise the barriers to product adoption and how to overcome them - Learn competitive features and functionality to develop future product strategy
The purpose of this report is to explain the technologies involved in enhanced key fobs and to reveal the latest developments. The report also addresses the barriers preventing the technology from progressing and how some suppliers are showing methods to overcome them.
