--> Keyless Entry for Cars - Effortless Fleet Access | AutoPi
Enterprise Fleet Security

Cryptographic vehicle access.
No keys. No compromise.

AutoPi Keyless replaces physical keys with hardware-bound, policy-driven credentials enforced at the edge. Access is validated on-device using signed policy manifests. Decisions are deterministic, offline-capable, and fully auditable. Every event is logged with user, VIN, timestamp, and CAN-level outcome.

mTLS + signed commands

Hardware-rooted certificates. Replay-resistant command channels.

Offline-capable edge policy

Local enforcement. Syncs on reconnect. No cloud dependency per unlock.

OBD-II, J1939, CAN-FD

ICE + EV. 12 V / 24 V. Mixed fleet support out of the box.

App, RFID, NFC

Multiple credential methods. Role, time-window, and geofence scoped.

Architecture

Edge enforcement. Cloud orchestration.

Access decisions are made on the device, not in the cloud. Policies are delivered as signed, versioned manifests. Vehicle actuation happens over CAN or digital I/O only after local validation passes.

Driver credential

App, RFID, or NFC

On-device policy check

Role, time window, geofence

CAN, I/O actuation

Lock, unlock, immobilize

Hardware-rooted identity

Each device carries a unique certificate. Mutual TLS is negotiated per session; commands are signed and freshness-checked before CAN execution.

mTLS X.509 certs Replay protection

Offline-capable enforcement

Signed policy manifests are cached on-device. Access decisions execute without a cloud round-trip. Events buffer locally and sync when connectivity returns.

Local policy engine Event buffering

RBAC with time and geo scoping

Map roles, time windows, and geofence polygons to user identities or groups. Policies push to the edge without requiring vehicle network access during update.

Roles + groups Time windows Geofence polygons

Immutable audit log

Every access event is stamped with user ID, credential method, VIN, CAN-level result, and UTC timestamp. Exportable for compliance and forensics.

Platform capabilities

One platform. Every access control layer.

From credential issuance to CAN-level actuation, AutoPi Keyless covers every layer of the access control stack with full integration into your existing fleet management and identity infrastructure.

EV-native access control

The AutoPi device reads EV-specific OEM parameters including state of charge, charging state, and HV contactor status and feeds them into access and immobilization logic. Restrict access while charging, block drive-off on low battery, or alert when an EV departs a charger zone unexpectedly.

Cryptographic command chain

Commands travel over mTLS, are signed at source, and verified on-device before any vehicle signal is actuated. No unsigned command can trigger a lock, unlock, or immobilize action regardless of network path.

SSO and tenant isolation

Connect your identity provider via OIDC or SAML. Each tenant sees only their own fleet, users, and audit data. API rate limits and per-tenant RBAC keep large multi-customer deployments predictable.

Correlated alert logic

Alerts trigger from correlated access and telemetry, not just raw thresholds. Fire on unlocks outside an allowed time window, starts outside a geofence, or movement with no associated keyless event. Forward via email, webhook, or your incident management tooling.

GPS and access correlation

Position, speed, ignition, and door status are fused with keyless events into full session records. Immediately distinguish authorized from unauthorized movement and feed trip and dwell metrics into billing or safety models via API.

OTA policy and firmware management

Keyless policies, parser versions, and firmware updates are all first-class objects in AutoPi Cloud. Roll out changes, rotate certificates, and monitor health fleet-wide from a single console or API, no workshop visits needed.

Integration

Plug keyless events into your stack

AutoPi Keyless is API-first. Feed events into your dispatch, ERP, billing, or incident tooling without replacing what you already operate.

REST API

Full programmatic control: issue or revoke credentials, query access logs, push policy updates, and retrieve telemetry. Rate-limited per tenant with API key or OAuth 2.0.

OAuth 2.0 JSON Rate-limited
MQTT topics

Subscribe to per-device or per-fleet topic streams for real-time access events, telemetry, and state changes. Low-latency, ideal for dashboards and dispatch systems.

Real-time Per-device topics
Webhooks

Push keyless events directly to your endpoint on unlock, lock, failed attempt, or policy violation. HMAC-signed payloads verify origin. Retry logic handles transient outages.

HMAC-signed Retry logic
OIDC / SAML SSO

Federate with your corporate IdP. Users log in once; access is scoped per tenant and role mapping is configured in AutoPi Cloud without touching device firmware.

OIDC SAML 2.0 Tenant isolation
Scheduled exports

Export access logs, trip records, and audit trails on a schedule for billing, compliance, or archival. CSV or JSON output to object storage or your own endpoint.

Frequently asked questions

Imagine unlocking and starting your vehicles without ever touching a key. That's what a keyless entry system does. It uses a small gadget or your phone to do all the work, making getting in and going easier and safer. For more detailed information, check out more on our blog.

Keyless entry means you decide who gets into your vehicles and when, all without a physical key that can get lost or copied. It’s all about making things safer and smarter, with the bonus of keeping a close eye on vehicle access.

Yep, our keyless solution can easily integrate with electric vehicles (EVs). It integrates smoothly, so managing your EV fleet becomes a breeze, supporting your move towards greener driving.

Super cool! Geofencing lets you set virtual fences for your vehicles. If a vehicle steps out of line, you’ll know instantly. It’s a game-changer for making sure your vehicles are exactly where they should be.

Alerts keep you in the loop with what’s happening with your fleet, think of them as your fleet’s way of talking to you. Unauthorized access? You’ll get an alert. Vehicle not locked properly? You’ll know. It’s about staying informed effortlessly.

Not at all. Managing the AutoPi devices is straightforward with our device management system. Whether you’re updating settings, adding new features, or solving small hiccups, you can do it all from anywhere, easily keeping your fleet running smoothly.

AutoPi devices cache policies and key material locally, so access decisions can still be made when a vehicle is out of coverage. Unlock, lock, and start commands are validated on the device against the last known policy, and all events are buffered. When connectivity returns, buffered events are synced to the cloud so your audit trail remains complete.

Yes. AutoPi exposes REST APIs, webhooks, and MQTT topics so that keyless events, telemetry, and alerts can be pushed into your existing fleet management or dispatch system. You can use our platform UI, your own backend, or a combination of both, depending on how tightly you want to integrate keyless workflows into your existing tools.

Security is built around hardware-bound identities, mutual TLS, and signed commands. Each device uses unique certificates, policies are distributed as signed artifacts, and commands are checked for integrity and freshness before being applied on the vehicle. Role-based access control and SSO options help you apply least-privilege access for drivers, operators, and administrators.

Installation normally includes mounting the AutoPi device, connecting it to power, ignition, and the vehicle’s data network (OBD-II or J1939), and optionally wiring additional lock or immobilizer lines. Pre-made harnesses are available for common use cases. Once powered, devices enroll automatically to your AutoPi account, where you can apply keyless policies and test access from the platform.
