Remote Fobs

A key fob is a small, electronic device that lets you unlock your car without the physical key. It also functions as a remote control for other things, like the garage door, or a home security system. Key fobs function by using radio frequencies. They are similar to transmitters of remote-control toys. 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 to decide what to do.

Modern car key fobs use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to communicate with the vehicle's onboard computer. The computer interprets the signal from the key fob, and looks for an exact code that matches the preprogrammed code. Once the code is matched, the system opens the door or starts the engine.

The technology is also being utilized in other kinds of vehicles, such as airplanes, tractors, trucks, buses/coaches and tanks. Many car manufacturers have incorporated the RFID system into their vehicles. This makes it simpler to start the engine or open doors with a click of a single button.

While the convenience of a car's key fob is appealing, it could be risky if you fail to pay to your surroundings. For instance, a CR auto editor once walked by her car parked Honda Accord and found all the windows were down. The key fob transmits an indication that triggers the automatic windows.

It is not enough to keep an eye on your battery, but also make sure that the key fob is connected to the onboard computer of the car securely. A remote that is not secure or connected could send the wrong signal, which can cause a malfunction like an overheated car engine or an uncontrolled window lowering.

Keep spare keys in case your key fob loses power or gets damaged. It's also recommended to replace the battery periodically to avoid losing its charge too fast. In general, you can purchase the correct battery for your remote at a big-box retailer or hardware store. The owner's manual or the manufacturer's site should provide instructions for replacing it.
