Abstract

The present invention teaches a hands-free remote entry system primarily for vehicles. This system comprises a base transceiver having wake-up sensors for automatically detecting an object. Once an object is detected, a transmitter within the base transceiver transmits a wake-up/data signal to a fob transceiver. A wake-up receiver within the fob transceiver receives the wake-up/data signal. Upon receipt of the wake-up/data signal, the fob transceiver transmits an identification/data signal, via a transmitter, back to a receiver in the base transceiver. In response to receiving the identification signal, output drivers from the base transceiver actuate a door lock system and an auto theft system.
