Is it possible to enable or after market install a keyless entry and start to a Citroen C4 Grand Picasso MK2 2017?
As in, I want to be able to open the doors and start the engine by pressing the button WITHOUT having to put my fob into the slot.
It currently has a fob slot like the picture below
I have never understood why keyless entry is on cars these days and do not see any benefits. It is easy enough to press a button on a fob to unlock doors and then put the key in the ignition switch. It makes it easy for somebody to steal cars with just a lap top from what is shown on tv.
At least in the above photo it looks as if a key is needed before starting the engine which might make theft more difficult and if so I would keep it as is - doing otherwise would also be a modification that would affect insurance.
@ Chendy: No, forget it. The technology fitted is entirely different. You won't have the ECUs, the electrics, the sensors, aerials, handles and the list goes on.
It's not easy, but sensible precautions are needed to prevent 'Relay Theft'.
They rely on people leaving their fobs hanging near the front door, so one bloke walks up and uses a receiver to pick up the fob's signal output, whilst the other bloke nearer the car uses another device to relay the fob's signal from his mate's device to open the vehicle and start the engine.
Simple precautions like storing the fob (and the spare) in Faraday pouches will prevent this, but the system can be deactivated easily enough to revert to the remote control fob opening if required. The fobs also stop transmitting after 21 days of inactivity.
