Remote Fobs

A key fob, which is a small electronic device, lets you unlock your vehicle without a physical key. It also serves as an remote control for other items like the garage door or home security system. Key fobs function by using radio frequencies, much like the transmitters of a remote control toy. When you press the button on the key fob, the transmitter sends a code to a receiver in your vehicle or any other device. The receiver interprets the code and signals what actions to take.

Modern car key fobs communicate with the computer onboard of the vehicle using radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The computer reads the signal from the key fob, and looks for a specific code that matches a preprogrammed one. Once the code has been identified it will open the door or start the engine.

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

The convenience of a key fob could be risky if not paying attention. For instance, a CR auto editor once walked by her parked Honda Accord and found all windows were closed. The key fob emits an alert that triggers the automatic windows.

Apart from keeping an eye on the battery, you must also make sure your key fob has a clear view of the buttons and a secure connection to your car's onboard computer. A loose or disconnected remote could send the wrong signal, which can cause an issue such as a hot car engine or uncontrolled window lowering.

Keep spare keys in the event that your key fob loses power or becomes damaged. It's also a good idea to replace the battery regularly to prevent it from losing its charge too quickly. In general, you can find the right battery for your remote from the big box retailer or at a hardware stores. There are instructions on how to replace the battery in the owner's manual or on the website of the manufacturer.
