Remote Fobs

A key fob, which is a small electronic device, allows you to unlock your vehicle without a physical key. It can also function as remotes for other devices, including the garage door opener, or the home security system. Key fobs work through radio frequencies. They are similar to the remote-control toys' transmitters. When you press the button on the key fob, the transmitter sends a code to a receiver inside your vehicle or other device. The receiver interprets the code and decides the appropriate action to perform.

Modern car key fobs communicate with the onboard computer of the vehicle by using radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The computer receives a signal from the keyfob, and searches for a code that matches the one programmed. Once the code is matched, the system opens the door or starts the engine.

Other types of vehicles are also utilizing the technology, such as planes and trucks, buses/coaches, and tanks. Many manufacturers have integrated the RFID system into their cars and make it easy to open doors or start the engine at a press of one button.

While the convenience of a key fob for your car is appealing, it can be risky if you don't pay to your surroundings.

You should also replace the battery on a regular basis to ensure that it doesn't lose its charge. Generally speaking, you can find the right battery for your key fob at a hardware retailer or a big-box store. There are instructions for replacing the battery within the owner's manual or on the website of the manufacturer.
