Remote Fobs

Key fobs are small, electronic device that lets you unlock your car without a physical key. It can also serve as remotes for other devices, like the garage door opener or the home security system. Key fobs work through radio frequencies. They are similar to the remote control toys' transmitters. When you press the button on the key fob, the transmitter sends a code to a receiver inside your vehicle or other device. The receiver interprets the codes and signals what to do.

Modern car key fobs utilize radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to communicate with the vehicle's onboard computer. The computer receives a signal from the keyfob, and searches for a code that matches the one programmed. Once the code is matched the system opens the door or starts the engine.

Other types of vehicles are also utilizing the technology, such as trucks and tractors, planes buses/coaches, tanks, and planes. Many car manufacturers have incorporated the RFID system in their cars. This makes it easier to start the engine or open doors with a click of a button.

The convenience of a key fob can be risky if not paying to your surroundings. For instance an CR auto editor once walked into her car parked Honda Accord and found all the windows were down. The key fob emits an alert that triggers the automatic windows.

You should not only keep an eye on your battery but also ensure that the key fob is connected to the computer onboard of your car securely. A disconnected or loose key fob can transmit a incorrect signal, resulting in an issue like an engine that is overheated or an uncontrolled lowering of the window.

Keep spare keys in the event that your key fob loses power or gets damaged. It is also recommended to replace the battery on a regular basis to ensure it does not lose its charge. In general, you can get the correct battery for your remote at an online retailer or hardware stores. The owner's manual or manufacturer's site should provide instructions on replacing the battery.
