Remote Fobs

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

Modern car key fobs utilize radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to connect with the car's onboard computer. The computer reads the signal from the key fob, looking for an exact code that matches the preprogrammed code. Once the code has been found the system will either open the door or start the engine.

The technology is also being used in other types of vehicles, including trucks, tractors, airplanes buses/coaches, tanks and even trains. Many car manufacturers have incorporated the RFID system in their cars. This makes it easier to start the engine or open the doors with just a push of a button.

While the convenience of a key fob for your car is appealing, it could be risky if you don't pay attention. A CR auto reporter once walked up to her car parked Honda Accord only to find all the windows down. The key fob emits a signal that activates the auto windows.

Apart from monitoring the battery, you must ensure that your key fob is in a clear view of its buttons and an encrypted connection to the car's onboard computer. A loose or disconnected remote can send the incorrect signal, resulting in an issue such as a hot car engine or an uncontrolled window lowering.

Keep spare keys handy in the event that your key fob looses power or gets damaged. You should also replace the battery on a regular basis to avoid it losing its charge. Typically, you can find the appropriate battery for your key fob at a hardware store or big-box retailer. The owner's manual or the manufacturer's site should provide instructions on how to replace the battery.
