The on-vehicle transmitting and receiving device has a plurality of antennas mounted close to members to be controlled of the vehicle, and a plurality of transmitting sections which are connected to the plurality of antennas and which transmit request signals having unique antenna IDs. The plurality of transmitting sections intermittently transmit request signals from the corresponding antennas. When the portable transmitting and receiving device receives any of the transmitted request signals, the portable transmitting and receiving device transmits an answer signal which controls the member to be controlled corresponding to the transmitting section which transmitted the received request signal.
