Remote Fobs

A key fob, or small electronic device, lets you unlock your car without a physical key. It also functions as an remote control for other things, like the garage door or a home security system. Key fobs operate through radio frequencies, much like the transmitters in a remote-control toy. When you press the button on the key fob the transmitter transmits a code to a receiver inside your vehicle or another device. The receiver interprets the code and decides the appropriate action to perform.

Modern car key fobs connect to the onboard computer of the vehicle via radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The computer reads a signal from the keyfob, and searches for an appropriate code to match one programmed. Once the code has been found the system will either open the door or start the engine.

The technology is also used in other kinds of vehicles, such as airplanes, tractors, trucks buses/coaches, tanks and even trains. Many manufacturers have integrated the RFID system into their vehicles, making it easier to open doors and start the engine at a pressing of one button.
