Remote Fobs

A key fob, or small electronic device, lets you unlock your car without a physical key. It can also serve as a remote for other devices, such as the garage door opener, or the home security system. Key fobs work through radio frequencies. They are similar to remote control toys' transmitters. When you press the button on the key fob, the transmitter transmits a message to a receiver in your vehicle or other device. The receiver interprets the code and determines what action to perform.

Modern car key fobs use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to communicate with the vehicle's onboard computer. The computer interprets the signal from the key fob, looking for an exact code that is compatible with a preprogrammed. If the code matches, the system opens the door or starts the engine.

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

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

It is not enough to 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 key fob could transmit the incorrect signal, resulting in problems such as an overheated engine or an uncontrolled lowering of the window.

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 recommended to replace the battery regularly to ensure that it doesn't lose its charge too fast. Generally, you can find the right battery for your key fob in a hardware store or big-box retailer. The owner's manual or manufacturer's site should provide instructions on replacing the battery.
