The key fob is powered by a small transmitter that sends out a short-range signal to a device in your car. Its primary function is to permit your vehicle to recognize the key fob and open its doors when you come close to it, and then start when you push the ignition button.

The issue is that interference can sometimes hinder the transmission. If you charge your second-generation Apple Pencil while holding the fob (via iGeneration) it could stop you from unlocking your vehicle.

Other electronic devices that use the same frequency as the fob can interfere with the signal. Garage door openers and tire-pressure monitoring devices can be affected. Even a transmitter at your home could be interfering, but this is difficult for a professional to test.
