The phenomenon of many motorbikes unable to start with smart keys has been happening in many areas in Hanoi for over a year now. This issue mostly occurs with scooters.
Experts explained that the main cause of this problem is the impact from high-power, radio frequency remote control devices that have the same frequency as the smart key. If these devices have the same frequency and bandwidth, they can interfere with the signal and cause a loss of connection.
The problem of smart keys being affected by interference is not uncommon, especially since many motorbikes have switched to using smart keys. One of the main reasons is the use of remote control devices that use radio waves without clear origin and without quality certification.
Some electronic devices that cause interference with smart keys.
To prevent this situation, users should choose remote control devices with reliable origin and quality certification. In addition, regularly checking and replacing the smart key battery is also important to ensure that the signal is not weak or dead.
In case the smart key cannot unlock, vehicle owners can apply the following methods to solve this problem.
Use metal shielding materials
Use a piece of metal such as a cookie tin lid or a silver paper to shield the key and smart key lock from radio waves coming from different directions, then repeat the unlocking process. Metal has the ability to block interference waves from transmitting devices and improve the smart key’s signal reception ability.
Bring the smart key closer to the lock
Place the smart key next to the motorcycle lock and try unlocking again. Being closer will help the signal reach the locking system stronger, overcoming the interference waves.
Walk the bike for a short distance
In the case of an unlocked bike, the owner can walk the bike out of the area they are standing in for about 50-100m and then try restarting. This will help the vehicle stay away from the influence of radio frequency transmitters and restore normal operation for the smart key.
