A method and system of theft detection for a vehicle are provided. The method comprises providing a telematics module, a body control module and an engine control module disposed in the vehicle having components and at least one theft-detected state. The body control module is in communication with the telematics module and the engine control module. The telematics module is in further communication with a backend server disposed remotely from the vehicle. The method further comprises detecting at least one event by the body control module defining a theft flag. The method further comprises detecting disablement of the telematics module from one of the body control module and the backend server. The method further comprises activating the at least one theft-detected state of the vehicle when the theft flag and disablement of the telematics module are detected.

The present invention relates to a vehicle card key in which a manufacturing defect rate of the vehicle card key may be reduced when the vehicle card key is manufactured, and a method of manufacturing the same. A PCB substrate which has a first key holder receiving groove and a first battery cover; a case which has a second key holder accommodation groove and a second battery cover accommodation groove; a key holder which accommodates the mechanical key; a battery terminal which includes a first terminal and a second terminal; and a battery cover which allows one surface of the battery to be in contact with the first terminal and the other surface of the battery to be in contact with the second terminal.

Biometric user authenticating keys for vehicles and methods of use are provided herein. An example method includes obtaining biometric information of a user from a biometric reader incorporated into the device or communicatively coupled with the device, authenticating an identity of the user based on the biometric information, selecting a mode of operation for the vehicle based on the biometric information. The mode of operation can specify vehicle privileges for the user. The method can include transmitting a signal to a vehicle controller of a vehicle to request access to the vehicle or start an engine of the vehicle after the identity of the user has been authenticated.
