Remote Fobs

Key fobs are small electronic device that lets you unlock your car without keys that are physically present. It also functions as a remote control for other things, like the garage door or a home security system. Key fobs operate through radio frequencies, just like the transmitters in a remote-control toy. When you hit the fob's button, it transmits a code to the receiver in your car or another device. The receiver interprets the code and determines what action to take.

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

The technology is also used in other types of vehicles, such as airplanes, tractors, trucks, buses/coaches and tanks. Many manufacturers have integrated the RFID system into their vehicles, making it easier to open doors or start the engine with just a push of the button.

While the convenience of a key fob for your car is appealing, it can be dangerous if you don't pay attention. A CR auto reporter once walked past her parked Honda Accord only to find all the windows down. The key fob transmits an indication that triggers the auto windows.

You should not only 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 loose or disconnected remote could send a wrong signal, leading to an issue such as a hot car engine or a window that is not controlled.

Keep spare keys in the event that your key fob looses power or is damaged. It's also recommended to replace the battery periodically to ensure that it doesn't lose its charge too quickly. In general, you can get the correct battery for your remote from a big-box retailer or hardware stores. You can find instructions on how to replace the battery in the owner's manual, or on the site of the manufacturer.
