Remote Fobs

Key fobs are small electronic device that lets you unlock your car without using a physical key. It also serves as an additional remote control for things, like the garage door or a home security system. Key fobs operate through radio frequencies, just like the transmitters found in a remote-control toy. When you press the button on the key fob, the transmitter transmits a code to a receiver inside your vehicle or another device. The receiver interprets the codes and signals what to do.

Modern car key fobs employ radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to connect with the car's onboard computer. The computer receives the signal from the key fob, looking for an exact code that matches the preprogrammed code. If the code is identified the system will either open the door or start the engine.

Other kinds of vehicles are also utilizing the technology, such as trucks and tractors, planes buses/coaches, tanks, and planes. Many manufacturers have integrated the RFID system into their vehicles which makes it easier to open doors or start the engine at a pressing of a button.

The convenience of a key fob can be risky if you're not paying to your surroundings. A CR auto reporter once walked up to her parking Honda Accord only to find all the windows down. That's because the key fob was sending an alert to activate the automatic windows.

You shouldn't just keep an eye on your battery, but also make sure that the key fob is connected to the computer onboard of the car securely. A broken or disconnected key fob could transmit the wrong signal, which can lead to problems such as an overheated engine or uncontrolled window-lowering.

Keep spare keys in case your key fob loses power or gets damaged. You should also replace the battery regularly to avoid it losing its charge. Generally speaking, you can find the right battery for your key fob in a hardware retailer or a big-box store. The owner's manual or the manufacturer's website should contain instructions on how to replace it.
