Remote Fobs

Key fobs are small, electronic device that lets you unlock your car without using a physical key.

They are similar to remote control toys' transmitters. When you hit the fob's button it transmits a code to the receiver in your car or another device. The receiver interprets the code and determines the appropriate action to take.

Modern car key fobs use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to communicate with the vehicle's onboard computer. The computer reads the signal from the key fob, and looks for an exact code that matches the preprogrammed code. If the code is identified, the system will open the door or start the engine.

Other kinds of vehicles are also using the technology, such as planes and trucks as well as buses/coaches and tanks. Numerous manufacturers have incorporated the RFID system into their cars, making it easier to open doors or start the engine with just a press of a button.
