A regular transponder will look like a metal car key, but the top part is made of plastic. This is where the transponder is.

There's also the possibility of having a transponder chip built into the key fob to provide additional security.

Remote Fobs

A key fob, also known as a small electronic device, lets you unlock your car without a physical key. It can also function as an additional remote for other devices, including the garage door opener or the home security system. Key fobs function by using radio frequencies. They are similar to transmitters of remote-control toys. When you hit the fob's button it sends a message to the receiver in your car or another device. The receiver interprets the code and determines what actions to take.

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

The technology is also used in other kinds of vehicles, including airplanes, tractors, trucks as well as buses/coaches and tanks. Many car manufacturers have incorporated the RFID system in their cars. This makes it simpler to start the engine or open the doors with a click of a button.

The convenience of a key fob can be dangerous, if you're not paying attention. For instance, a CR auto editor once walked into her parked Honda Accord and found all the windows were down. This is because the key fob had sent an indication to turn on 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 your car safely. A broken or disconnected key fob could transmit the wrong signal, which can lead to problems like an engine that is overheated or uncontrolled window-lowering.

It's a good idea to keep spare keys handy for those occasions when your key fob is depleted of power or becomes damaged. It's also a good idea to replace the battery on a regular basis to ensure that it doesn't lose its charge too quickly. In general, you can get the correct battery for your remote from the big box retailer or at a hardware store. You can find instructions on how to replace the battery in the owner's manual, or on the manufacturer's site.
