What's the name of the place where the car keys are inserted?

The place where the car key is inserted is called the ignition switch, that is, the switch of the automobile ignition system (usually with a key), which can freely connect or disconnect the main circuit of the ignition coil.

After the key is inserted into the ignition switch, it stays in each gear for about 1 and 2 seconds. At this time, you can hear the sound of electrical equipment being electrified, and then you can enter the next gear. Some cars can go directly to the ON position, and then wait for all the electrical appliances to start, about 6-7 seconds, and then turn the key to the ON state to ignite directly.

Extended data:

The method of starting the car when the car remote control key is out of power;

There is an electromagnetic coil in each remote control key, which will emit microwaves. There is also an electromagnetic coil in the one-button start button to receive microwaves, and then send them to the driving computer. The driving computer will analyze whether the keys match, and if the matching is successful, it will start the vehicle.

So as long as you stick the remote control key near the sensor in the car, you can start the vehicle. The sensor position of each model is different. Owners are advised to read the vehicle manual in advance.
