"Morse Watchmans pioneered automated key control systems that eliminate the need for manual storing, logging and tracking of key access and usage and now we have taken the technology even further by automating key additions and deletions as well as  location status," said Fernando Pires, VP Sales and Marketing, Morse Watchmans.

In addition to the KeyWatcher Touch system, the Reader is also compatible with the KeyBank Touch Auto v1.7, available in Spring, 2015. With the updated version, users can enter vehicle information including year, make, model, sub-model, color and fuel type when adding a key in addition to the delete and key location functions.
