1. A switch device for use by an operator and connection to an actuator, for enabling the actuator to be driven when an ID code transmitted from a transponder of a portable device matches a predetermined ID code of a vehicle controller, wherein the switch device transmits a transponder-driving radio wave that caused the transponder to generate electromotive force for transmitting the ID code, the switch device comprising:
- a push button switch operated by the operator for driving the actuator; and
a coil antenna used for transmitting the transponder-driving radio wave, the coil antenna being arranged around the push button switch.
