Remote keyless system

Okay kiddo, do you remember how sometimes when we want to open the door of our car we have to put the key in the lock and turn it? Well, a remote keyless system is like magic because it does that same thing but without a key and from far away!

So instead of a key, we have a little device that we carry around called a "key fob". It's like a little remote control that can talk to our car. When we press a button on the key fob, it sends a special code to the car telling it to unlock the doors.

It's kind of like how we use a TV remote to change the channel. When we press a button on the remote, the TV gets the message and changes the channel.

The key fob can also do other things like lock the doors, start the engine, and even set off the car alarm if someone tries to break in.

This special kind of system is really useful because it saves us time and is more convenient. We don't have to worry about losing or forgetting our key anymore. Plus, it's really cool to be able to open the car door from far away!
