Abstract
A keyless entry method, system and program product is disclosed herein. In general, user command information can be transmitted to a receiving and transmitting unit which communicates with a latch. A processor can then process the user command information utilizing a processor, which communicates the latch and the receiving and transmitting unit. The latch can thereafter be instructed to perform a particular latch function (e.g., opening or closing a vehicle door), in response to processing the user command information utilizing the processor.
