Transponder Keys

A majority of modern cars come with a transponder chip in the key that sends out a coded signal that matches with your car's anti theft system.

Remote Fobs

Key fobs are small device that allows you unlock your car without using the physical key. It also acts as a remote control for other items like the garage door, or a home security system. Key fobs operate through radio frequencies, just like the transmitters found 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 signals what to do.

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

The technology is also used in other kinds of vehicles, including airplanes, trucks, tractors as well as buses/coaches and tanks. Numerous car manufacturers have integrated the RFID system into their vehicles. This makes it easier to start the engine or open the doors with a click of a button.

While the convenience of a key fob for your car is appealing, it can be risky if you don't pay to your surroundings. A CR auto reporter once walked up to her car parked Honda Accord only to find all the windows shut. The reason for this is because the key fob had sent a signal to activate the automatic windows.

You should not only keep an eye on your battery, but also ensure that the key fob is connected to the onboard computer of your car safely. A broken or disconnected key fob could send the wrong signal, leading to problems like an overheated engine or uncontrolled window-lowering.

Keep spare keys handy in case your key fob loses power or becomes damaged. It's also an ideal idea to replace the battery on a regular basis to ensure that it doesn't lose its charge too fast. In general, you can purchase the correct battery for your remote from the big box retailer or at a hardware store. There are instructions for replacing the battery within the owner's manual, or on the site of the manufacturer.
