An on-board control system 12 for a vehicle 1 and method for controlling access to a vehicle. The control system has a passive entry function for controlling access to an interior of the vehicle by exchanging wireless communication signals with one or more portable vehicle entry devices 14, such as key fobs. The control system is configured to receive a control signal comprising one or more passive entry function settings from a remote user interface device 15, via a wireless communication channel, and control vehicle accessibility via the passive entry function based on the one or more passive entry function settings of the received control signal. The remote user device, such as a smartphone of the user, can have an app or client program that allows the user to configure or customise aspects of passive entry function settings. This may include disabling or enabling passive entry function, approving or disapproving certain portable entry devices (key fobs) or setting a schedule (days and times) enabling passive entry functionality. The invention helps prevent relay attacks by allowing users to switch off passive entry functions at certain times and prevents entry via lost or missing key fobs.
