Remote Fobs

Key fobs are small electronic device that lets you unlock your car without keys that are physically present.

When you press the fob's button, it transmits a code to the receiver in your car or any other device. The receiver interprets the code and signals how to act.

Modern car key fobs communicate with the onboard computer of the vehicle by using radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The computer reads the signal from the key fob, looking for a specific code that matches the preprogrammed code. If the code is found the system will either open the door or start the engine.

The technology is also used in other types of vehicles, including airplanes, trucks, tractors as well as buses/coaches and tanks. Numerous manufacturers have incorporated the RFID system into their vehicles and make it easier to open doors and start the engine with just a push of one button.
