The HFM351 is a radio frequency transmitter-receiver used in vehicle access systems.
✓Car Access function:
The first way is to use the remote key functionality (RKE) by pressing one of the “Lock”
or “Unlock” buttons on the ID Key. Data frames are then transmitted at 433.92 MHz
from the key fob ID of the car. The HFM processes the frames received and when the
security code is correct, the doors are locked or unlocked automatically.
Car access functions by remote control are allowed using any key fob type.
The second way is to use the free hand mode
Unlocking the vehicle:
If the car is locked, when the door request switch located in the door is pressed by car
user which has a car key fob, the HFM transmits data frames at 125 kHz. When the key
fob receives the data and recognizes the content of the inquiry, it transmits the code to
the car at 433.92 MHz. The HFM processes the frames received and when the code is
correct, the doors are automatically unlocked.

✓Engine Start function:
When the Hand free functions are disabled
First User has to hold the key fob in front of Immobilizer antenna for at least than 30s
after one of the following action: press of the “START” button on the dashboard, open
or close a door or press vehicle brake pedal. Each key fob has a transponder. When
the key fob is hold in front of Immobilizer antenna, the HFM sends a ‘transponder”
recognition order to the key fob throw the Immobilizer antenna. The HFM performs a
‘transponder” authentication using 125 kHz transceiver. The key fob sends the
authentication result to the HFM. Then the HFM sends on the CAN bus a message to
the central unit and engine control unit to allow or not the START of the engine.
When the Hand free functions are enabled
The user does not need to hold the key fob in front of the Immobilizer antenna. The key
fob should only be inside the vehicle. When the “START” button is pushed, the HFM
sends a recognize message at 125 kHz link via internal LF antennas. Receiving this
message, the key fob sends an authentication message at 433.92 MHz. Then the HFM
sends on the CAN bus a message to the central unit and engine control unit to allow or
not the START of the engine.
