FiveM Car Lock / Key System - Remote Vehicle Control

Add realistic vehicle security and remote control to your FiveM server with this car lock and key system. Players can lock and unlock their vehicles with visual and audio feedback, control doors remotely, and secure their cars from theft. Perfect for roleplay servers wanting immersive vehicle ownership mechanics without complex key item systems.

What's Included

This standalone vehicle lock system (konar_carremote) provides complete remote control functionality for player vehicles. The script includes lock/unlock animations, sound effects (interact-sound integration), visual indicators, and hotkey controls. It's a lightweight solution that adds vehicle security without requiring physical key items in inventory.

Key Features

• Remote Lock/Unlock - Press a configurable hotkey to lock or unlock your nearby vehicle
• Visual Feedback - Car lights flash when locking/unlocking for realistic visual confirmation
• Audio Effects - Realistic car lock beep sounds using interact-sound system
• Anti-Theft Protection - Locked vehicles cannot be entered or hotwired by other players
• Distance Detection - Automatically detects the nearest owned vehicle within range
• Ownership Verification - Only vehicle owners can lock/unlock their cars
• Hotkey Customization - Configure the lock button to any key preference
• Lightweight Performance - Minimal resource usage with optimized code (0.00ms idle)
• Standalone Compatible - Works without requiring ESX or QBCore (framework support available)

Perfect For

• Roleplay servers needing basic vehicle security mechanics
• Servers wanting to prevent vehicle theft griefing
• Communities looking for simple, user-friendly car controls
• Servers that don't want complex physical key item systems

How It Works

When a player purchases or spawns a vehicle, the system automatically assigns ownership. To lock their car, players simply press the configured hotkey (default: U key) when standing near the vehicle. The car lights flash twice and a locking sound plays, confirming the action. Locked vehicles cannot be entered by other players unless unlocked by the owner. The same hotkey unlocks the vehicle with corresponding visual and audio feedback.

Configuration Options

The config.lua file allows you to customize the lock/unlock hotkey, maximum detection distance for nearby vehicles, lock sound effect file, light flash duration and pattern, framework integration (standalone, ESX, or QBCore), and ownership verification methods. You can also enable or disable specific features like remote trunk access or door control depending on your server's needs.

Framework Compatibility

• ✅ ESX - Full integration with ESX vehicle ownership system
• ✅ QBCore - Compatible with QB-Core vehicle keys and garage systems
• ✅ QBOX - Works with modern QBox framework

Advanced Features

Beyond basic locking, this system can be configured for additional functionality. Optional features include remote engine start/stop, trunk access control, individual door lock control (driver, passenger, rear doors), alarm system integration, and custom sound effects. The modular design means you can enable only the features your server needs, keeping the script lightweight and efficient.

Requirements

• interact-sound - Required for lock/unlock sound effects (included in package)
• Vehicle ownership system (ESX garages, QB garages, or custom ownership)
• Optional: ESX or QBCore framework for enhanced integration

What Makes It Stand Out

Unlike complex key systems that require inventory management and physical key items, this remote control approach provides instant, intuitive vehicle security. Players don't need to manage key items or worry about losing access to their cars. The visual and audio feedback creates immersive realism without complexity. With 83+ sales and proven stability, it's the simple solution servers need for vehicle security without the headaches of advanced key management systems.

Common Use Cases

• Personal Vehicles - Secure your personal car in parking lots or on the street
• Job Vehicles - Lock emergency vehicles, taxis, or delivery trucks when on duty
• Dealership Integration - Lock vehicles after purchase from car dealerships
• Garage Systems - Vehicles automatically lock when spawned from garages

Performance & Optimization

This script is designed for maximum efficiency with idle resource usage at 0.00ms and only 0.01-0.02ms when actively detecting vehicles or processing lock commands. The detection system uses optimized native functions and distance checks to minimize performance impact. It's suitable for servers with hundreds of players without causing lag or frame drops.
