Door Locks
The Peugeot 3008 remote allows you to lock or unlock your car by pressing a button on your key fob. The key fob, in contrast to the traditional key with a physical hole, stores a secret copy of the car keys inside.
In order to accomplish this, it utilizes the use of a specific radio signal that is only transmitted when the key is within a specific range of the car. A solenoid inside the door lock transforms the electronic command into an actual mechanical one after the signal is detected. This is when a rod turns to operate the door locks just as keys on a real key could.
