Key fobs operate using radio frequencies, just like the transmitters in a remote-control toy. When you press a button on the fob it sends a message to the receiver in your car or another device. The receiver interprets the codes and signals how to act.

Modern car key fobs connect to the onboard computer of the vehicle via radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The computer receives the signal from the key fob, and looks for a specific code that matches a preprogrammed one. Once the code is matched, the system opens the door or starts the engine.
