Remote Fobs

Key fobs are small device that allows you unlock your car without using keys that are physically present. It can also be used as a remote for other devices, including the garage door opener or home security system. Key fobs operate through radio frequencies, similar to the transmitters of a remote control toy. When you press a button on the fob it transmits a code to the receiver in your car or another device. The receiver interprets the codes and signals what to do.

Modern car key fobs connect to the computer onboard of the vehicle using radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The computer reads the signal from the keyfob, and seeks an appropriate code to match one programmed. If the code is identified it will open the door or start the engine.

The technology is also used in other types of vehicles, including trucks, tractors, airplanes as well as buses/coaches and tanks. Many manufacturers have integrated the RFID system into their cars which makes it easier to open doors and start the engine with a simple press of a button.

While the convenience of a car's key fob is appealing, it can be risky if you don't pay to your surroundings. For instance, a CR auto editor once walked out to her parking Honda Accord and found all windows were closed. The reason for this is because the key fob had sent an indication to turn on the auto windows.

Besides monitoring the battery, you should be sure that your key fob has an easy view of the buttons and a secure connection to your car's onboard computer. A loose or disconnected remote can send the incorrect signal, resulting in malfunctions such as an overheated car engine or a window that is not controlled.

It's a good idea keep spare keys in your pocket in case your key fob runs out of power or gets damaged. It's also recommended to replace the battery on a regular basis to avoid losing its charge too fast. Generally, you can find the appropriate battery for your key fob at a hardware store or a big-box retailer. The owner's manual or manufacturer's website should have instructions for replacing the battery.
