Remote Fobs

A key fob is a small electronic device that lets you unlock your car without a physical key. It can also function as a remote for other devices, like the garage door opener or the home security system. Key fobs operate using radio frequencies, similar to the transmitters in a remote-control toy. When you press the button on the key fob the transmitter transmits a code to a receiver in your vehicle or any other device. The receiver interprets the code and signals the appropriate actions to take.

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 seeks a code that matches the one that has been preprogrammed. When the code is matched the system will either open the door or start the engine.

Other kinds of vehicles also use the technology, including trucks and tractors, planes as well as buses/coaches and tanks. Numerous manufacturers have incorporated the RFID system into their vehicles and make it easy to open doors or start the engine with just a pressing of a button.

You shouldn't just be watching your battery, but also ensure that the key fob is connected to the onboard computer of the car securely. A broken or disconnected key fob could transmit a wrong signal, leading to a malfunction such as an overheated engine or an uncontrolled window lowering.
