Abstract
Systems and methods for accessing one or more compartments or systems of a non-automotive vehicle. One system includes an electronic communications device including an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to authenticate an access control system of a non-automotive vehicle using a first wireless communications protocol, determine distance information via ranging between the electronic communications device and the access control system using a second wireless communications protocol, and send the distance information to the access control system, thereby enabling the access control system to selectively unlock a steering mechanism of the non-automotive vehicle based on the distance information.
