Abstract: A keyless entry apparatus includes an on-vehicle transmitting and receiving device mounted on a vehicle, and a portable transmitting and receiving device. The on-vehicle transmitting and receiving device has a plurality of antennas mounted close to members to be controlled of the vehicle, and a plurality of transmitting sections which are connected to the plurality of antennas and which transmit request signals having unique antenna IDs. The plurality of transmitting sections intermittently transmit request signals from the corresponding antennas. When the portable transmitting and receiving device receives any of the transmitted request signals, the portable transmitting and receiving device transmits an answer signal which controls the member to be controlled corresponding to the transmitting section which transmitted the received request signal.

Abstract: A secure, vehicle key, storage device is for a plurality of uniquely-coded vehicle keys. Each key includes a wireless transmitter. The storage device includes a housing for containing the uniquely-coded vehicle keys, and at least one access mechanism associated with the housing for selectively permitting access to at least one of the uniquely-coded vehicle keys. The device may also include a user identification input for permitting user input of the user identification. At least one wireless receiver determines the unique codes. A controller is provided for controlling the access mechanism based upon the user identification input, and for tracking the uniquely-coded vehicle keys in cooperation with the wireless receiver.
