Remote Fobs

A key fob, also known as a small electronic device, lets you unlock your vehicle without having a physical key.

They are similar to remote-control toys' transmitters. When you hit the fob's button it sends a message to the receiver in your car or other device. The receiver interprets the code and signals what to do.

Modern car key fobs use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to connect with the car's onboard computer. The computer reads the signal from the keyfob and seeks a code that matches one that has been preprogrammed. Once the code has been identified, the system will open the door or start the engine.

Other types of vehicles are also utilizing the technology, such as trucks and tractors, planes buses/coaches, tanks, and planes. Many manufacturers have integrated the RFID system into their cars which makes it easier to open doors and start the engine at a push of the button.
