Remote Fobs

Key fobs are small, electronic device that lets you unlock your car without using keys that are physically present. It can also function as remotes for other devices, such as the garage door opener, or the home security system. Key fobs function by using radio frequencies. They are similar to remote control toys' transmitters. When you press the button on the key fob, the transmitter transmits a code to a receiver within your vehicle or other device. The receiver interprets the code and signals how to act.

Modern car key fobs use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to connect with the car's onboard computer. The computer receives a signal from the keyfob, and searches for a code that matches one preprogrammed. If the code is identified it will open the door or start the engine.

The technology is also used in other types of vehicles, including airplanes, tractors, trucks buses/coaches, tanks and even trains. Numerous manufacturers have incorporated the RFID system into their vehicles which makes it easier to open doors or start the engine at a pressing of one button.
