A system may include a system controller in communication with a function controller and configured to receive an authentication request. The authentication request may include a user input and the user input may be authenticated by matching the user input with at least one stored input. The controller may determine a vehicle mode and update, via the function controller, a status associated with a key fob in response to the vehicle mode being in an authenticated mode.
