Hi,
I have a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
To open the car door (locked), I simply grab the handle
and the door unlocks then opens with the Key FOB in my
pocket.
The Key FOB has buttons that include Unlock. If I press this button,
the Key FOB would transmit a coded signal in UHF band to the Jeep.
I assume because I am NOT pressing any buttons, my Jeep transmits a signal
(perhaps in short bursts) and my Key FOB responds by indicating it's presence?
Can someone clarify this?
Thank You in advance, John

The metal disks inside had started to become detached. I found just the replacement keypad, but for some you have to buy the entire case to get the keypad. They are usually under $10.

I believe my Vauxhall (~2003) has a RFID. If the car is opened with the
key-in-lock that does not disarm the alarm. But starting the car with
the key does so via RFID. But I'm afraid I cannot be bothered to verify
with the manual!

Don't worry, they have changed quite a bit since 2003.
