The maximum quantity of programmable remote-control devices for vehicle entry and operation is a variable determined by the vehicle’s on-board computer system. This limit is in place to ensure system security and prevent unauthorized access. For example, one vehicle model might accommodate a maximum of four programmed key fobs, while another may support up to eight.
Limiting the quantity of operational remote devices is essential for maintaining vehicle security, mitigating potential theft, and providing control over vehicle access. Historically, this limitation evolved alongside the increasing sophistication of vehicle security systems. Early systems had minimal limitations, but advancements in technology have allowed for more complex and secure systems with defined device limits.
