Prox’N’ Drive

Product catalog summary

Overview
Prox’N’Drive is a compact and flexible contactless RFID/NFC coupler designed for automotive applications. It is suitable for in-vehicle mounting and operates with a single cable that provides both 12V DC power and RS-232 interface connectivity. The device features three high-luminosity LEDs for user information and can be customized with a personal logo. Its low power card detection system allows the reader and host system to remain in standby mode until a contactless card, RFID tag, or NFC object is detected.

Typical Applications

Car-sharing
Battery-powered fleets
Active display windows

Key Features

Reads cards and tags through windscreens and windows
Single cable for power and serial interface (RS-232)
Low Power Card Detection
Self-adhesive for automotive environments
