A system and method employ a wireless remote keyless entry device to provide entry to a remote system via the wireless device. The system provides a level of authorization and eliminates a complex integration with the remote system to which entry is sought. The remote keyless entry device preferably includes a biometric sensor for receiving a biometric input value and a database including a list of authorized users. Each authorized user has a biometric value and a set of command options associate therewith, and each command option has a command code associated therewith. The device and method allow for one-way secure communication with the remote system, and also provide added functionality and tracking features.
