Novel methods and devices for automatically unlocking a vehicle are provided, including a personal data device (“PDD”) adapted to wirelessly connect to an authentication module disposed within a body of the vehicle. The authentication module preferably includes a microcontroller board with wireless capabilities, a relay shield configured to send a signal to a central locking system of the vehicle, and a radio frequency transmitter connected to the relay shield. The PDD is configured for biometric authentication of a user. When the PDD is wirelessly connected to the authentication module, a signal is sent to the central locking system upon the automatic biometric authentication of the user. A PDD is disclosed including a near-field communication (NFC) chip adapted to wirelessly connect to an NFC receiver module disposed within a body of the vehicle. The PDD is configured to trigger sending a signal to the NFC receiver module to control a central locking system of the vehicle to unlock the vehicle. When the PDD is within NFC communication with the NFC receiver module, the NFC chip sends a signal to the central locking system upon the automatic biometric authentication of the user.
